Baileys Brownies

Baileys Brownies ~ turn a boxed brownie mix into a triple layer decadent dessert! Fudgy, chewy, moist brownies topped with Baileys laced buttercream frosting and finished with ganache glaze.

There’s no shame in the box mix game. Boozy Brownies, laced with Jack Daniels start with a box mix and happen to be one of my most popular recipes! I even added Guiness to this Irish Stew – what else? 

Well, I’m doing it again just in time for St. Patrick’s Day because why should all booze be consumed by the glass?

The box mix gives you a leg up and lets you enjoy these fudgy brownies even faster.  While the brownies are baking, whip up the buttery Baileys frosting and chocolate ganache that also has a hint of Baileys. 

Chewy, fudgy triple layered Baileys Brownies – deliciously rich and chocolatey with a boozy Baileys flavor.

Can kids eat Baileys Brownies?

Baileys Irish Cream is an Irish liqueur – an alcoholic beverage blend of cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey, so it’s definitely not for the kiddos. But the flavor it adds to basic brownies is incredible and adults will love it.
