1 pouch Betty Crocker™ double chocolate chunk cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 tablespoons stout draught beer (from 14.9-oz can)
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (filberts)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup dark chocolate chips
2/3 cup whipping cream

  • In medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. If needed, microwave 15 to 30 seconds longer or until chips are melted and mixture can be stirred smooth.
