Ingredients
Brownie Mix
21.5 ounces (Choose your favorite brand, such as Duncan Hines.)
Irish Cream
1/2 cup (Select your preferred brand.)
Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup (For mixing.)
Eggs
2 large (Beat lightly.)
Butter
1/2 cup (Softened to room temperature.)
Powdered Sugar
2 cups (Sift before using.)
Additional Irish Cream
1/4 cup (To add to frosting.)
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 ounce (Or use 1 ounce square chocolate with 1 teaspoon butter.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan.
2
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, 1/2 cup Irish cream, oil, and eggs. Stir vigorously for about 50 strokes until well combined.
3
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes, taking care not to overbake. Check for doneness with a toothpick: it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
4
While brownies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, beat the softened butter until it looks light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and remaining 1/4 cup of Irish cream, mixing until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, incorporate additional Irish cream to reach your desired consistency.
5
Once the brownies are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
6
Next, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave in short intervals, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chocolate with butter). Stir until smooth.
7
Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze over the frosted brownies, allowing it to cascade beautifully. Let the glaze set before cutting into squares.
