Irish Cream Chocolate Boozy Brownies.
I’m seriously thinking, these are what you need in your life for several reasons.
First of all, it’s got booze! Do I need other reasons? Baileys Irish Cream is so dang good with coffee, over ice, with drinks and of course, we can’t leave it out of dessert! It was meant to be. Damn it! We know this!
(Liquor makes me cuss?)
Pssst…
If you think you’ll get a buzz off these, you won’t.
So sorry for that.
But just in case you were wondering…
There’s not enough Baileys in this recipe to get you drunk, but even if you ate all the brownies in one sitting, you would still taste that lovely Irish cream flavor come through, which is what this brownie recipe is all about!
AND…If you want a little more (Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish whiskey and cream-based liqueur, made by Gilbeys of Ireland). you could always add more to the frosting, and I wouldn’t blame you one bit!
The rich chocolate brownies are stuffed with milk and dark chocolate chunks, and then the top of the brownies are sprinkled with bountiful slivers of more milk and dark chocolate.
Besides the Baileys, the frosting, is buttery, creamy, chocolatey and it has cream cheese in it too, so you know it’s going to be good! They are more than good, they’re amazing!
If you want nice brownie slices, you can chill your frosted brownies before slicing. But if you can’t wait, don’t let me stop you!
These are wonderful ,of course for St. Patrick’s Day, 21st Birthdays (ha!) celebrations and parties and pretty much anytime you want creamy frosted brownies with a nice mellow Irish Cream flavor to make your tongue waggle. There’s your reasons! Let’s Devour!!!
