Ingredients

Brownies:

1 (1 lb. 3.8-oz.) pkg. fudge brownie mix

1/2 cup oil

1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur

2 eggs

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 to 3 teaspoons milk

Glaze:

1 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped

1 teaspoon butter or margarine

2. Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies are set and begin to pull away from sides of pan. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 45 minutes or until completely cooled.

3. Beat 1/2 cup butter in small bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in all remaining frosting ingredients, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Spread over cooled brownies.

Expert Tips

Irish cream liqueur contains Irish whiskey, sugar and cream. Depending on the brand, the liqueur may have spicy toffee or honey chocolate flavors. 

Brownies are done when edges look dry and start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Bake the brownies for the minimum time recommended, and then check their edges. Remove the brownies from the oven as soon as the edges are done; overbaked brownies are dry and hard.
