Ever have one of those days where you just NEED chocolate? Like, the kind of need that borders on desperate? Yeah, me too. And sometimes, a regular brownie just doesn't cut it. That's where these Baileys Brownies come in. Imagine sinking your teeth into a rich, fudgy brownie, the intense chocolate flavor enhanced by the unmistakable taste of Baileys Irish Cream. It's like a warm hug for your soul... but in brownie form. One time, I was feeling particularly down after getting stuck in traffic for hours. I whipped up a batch of these brownies, and let me tell you, that first bite was pure bliss. Instantly, the stress melted away (almost as fast as the chocolate in my mouth!).
The beauty of these brownies is their simplicity. You don't need to be a master baker to create these little squares of happiness. With just a handful of ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can transform your kitchen into a boozy chocolate wonderland. I've tried many variations of brownies, adding different liquors and extracts, but nothing quite compares to the creamy, smooth depth that Baileys brings. I once tried using a generic Irish cream liqueur, and believe me, the difference was noticeable. The real deal makes all the difference!
So, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself after a long week, these Baileys Brownies are guaranteed to hit the spot. Get ready to experience chocolate bliss with a boozy twist. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. Making this recipe is super easy, I was actually so surprised the first time I tried it. I didn't know it would turn out so good! My husband really enjoyed this brownie and he's not even much of a sweets person. So, trust me when I say it's great for most people. I bet it's great for you too!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. Seriously, don't skip the flouring step unless you want a brownie-shaped puzzle to extract later.
In a large, heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate! Burnt chocolate is sad chocolate.
Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don't overmix! Overmixing leads to tough brownies, and nobody wants that.
Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir, and inhale deeply. That's the smell of pure deliciousness.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents pockets of salty doom.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be gentle! Overmixing at this stage will develop the gluten and result in cakey brownies. We're aiming for fudgy, remember?
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. If you want to get fancy, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Don't overbake! Slightly underbaked is better than overbaked when it comes to brownies.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Patience is a virtue... especially when brownies are involved.
For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle with melted chocolate or a Baileys-infused ganache. Or just eat them straight from the pan. I won't judge.
Serve and enjoy your boozy chocolate masterpiece!
📝 Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of bittersweet.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
