Questions & Replies

Can somebody tell me whether you use 1/2 c of Baileys in the brownie mix regardless of how much water it calls for? And does this mean no water at all?
-
I just realized my brownie mix is only 18 ounces. Do I have to adjust the other ingredients? -
Could I use Creme de Mint instead of Irish Cream?

These are super brownies and very easy! I received a bottle of Irish Cream for Christmas in a gift exchange at work. Being that I'm not a drinker, I needed to find some recipes to use this in. This is the first one that I've tried. Here are just a few notes that I made: 1) I used a 19.9 ounce box of Betty Crocker Dark Brownie Mix, 2) the oil that I used was vegetable oil, 3) for the frosting, I used about 1/2 cup of the Irish Cream to get the desired consistency that I was looking for, 4) I used about 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 5) my baking time was 28 minutes. Thanks so much for posting and I'm sure my work associates will appreciate these tomorrow! :-) -
I love brownies and I love Irish Cream, so it came as no shock that I loved these!!!! Great flavor and pretty enough to serve to company!!!! I microwaved the choclate chips in a sandwich bag for 30 seconds or so and kneaded it to melt them all. Then I snipped one end off the bag and used that to drizzle or pipe the chocolate on. Thanks for a great recipe!

to make this alcohol free, you can use the Bailey's irish cream coffee creamer. -
No fault of the recipe, but we didn't really care for these brownies. The Irish Cream flavor was really strong. I skipped the drizzle and just added the Irish Cream to the frosting that I had leftover. I love trying new recipes, so thank you for the experience! -

My boxed brownie mix was only 15.5 ounces, so added 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolate flavor. Followed balance of directions, and they turned out great! A new Saint Patrick’s Day dinner dessert!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
