Irish Cream Brownies

If you love chocolate and mint and alcohol separately, then you will adore them combined.  This is a fabulous, yet easy brownie recipe and oh.so.good.

Best part, you get to cheat and use a box mix as your base.  ;) 

Irish Cream Brownies
Brownies
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup irish cream (I prefer Bailey's)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 whole eggs

Frosting
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup irish cream
- 2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar

Glaze
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vegetable oil

Combine brownie ingredients and pour into 9x13 pan that has been prepared with nonstick spray.  Bake in preheated 350 oven for 20-22 minutes.

Cool completely, then combine butter and irish cream for the frosting, adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until fully combined.    Add sugar until it reaches a good consistency - you want it to be spreadable, but not too runny.

To make glaze, microwave chips for 20 seconds at a time, stirring each time.  Add oil and blend until completely smooth.  Drizzle over frosted brownies.
