Following on from Tayto?s release of the cheese and onion chocolate bar in Ireland we?ve realized that we are a nationality divided by whether putting salty and sweet together in a dessert is really disgusting or completely delicious.

Of course there?s the obvious American favorite, the chocolate covered pretzel, more commonly known in Ireland as the brand Flipz, but then there are the breakaway groups who will break up a Dairy Milk chocolate bar and drop it into their popcorn at the cinema or even branch out and go for Galaxy Minstrels.

If you?re one such delinquent then we?ve found a most scrumptious recipe for you - Guinness chocolate pie with beer marshmallow meringue.

Thanks to SprinkleBake for this fabulous recipe. Makes two pies.

Pretzel crust:
Ingredients:
2 cups crushed pretzels
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
10 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (firmly packed)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix together pretzels, graham cracker crumbs, butter and brown sugar.? Stir together with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.

Divide mixture between two 8 or 9-inch pie plates. Bake for 10 minutes.? Cool completely before filling.

Guinness chocolate filling:

Ingredients:
8 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
14.9 oz. can Guinness Draught, divided
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
7 oz. high quality bittersweet chocolate, evenly chopped
1/4 cup cornstarch

Method:

Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a non-reactive bowl.

Pour 1 cup of Guinness in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan (reserve the rest for later use).

Add heavy cream and whisk to combine.

Set over medium-high heat and cook until very hot but not boiling.

Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate.

When chocolate has melted, whisk in the egg mixture in a very thin stream as to not scramble the egg.

Whisk in cornstarch and return to heat source.

Whisk over medium heat until thickened.

Divide mixture between pie pans.

Use a rubber spatula to effectively remove all the pudding from the saucepan; quickly smooth the chocolate into the crust.? Refrigerate while making the marshmallow topping.

Beer marshmallow topping:

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
4 egg whites
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. water
1/4 tsp salt
12 jumbo marshmallows (or about 18-20 large) cut into quarters with kitchen scissors
3 tbsp. beer reduction

Method:

Whisk sugar, egg whites, water and salt together in a large metal bowl.

Set bowl over a simmering pan of water; whisk constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot to the touch.
