Bailey’s Brownies – A delicious spin on classic boxed brownie mix made with Bailey’s Irish Cream! Made with just 5 ingredients, these brownies are amazing!
Bailey’s Brownies
I love Bailey’s. I swear, I have been adding it to all of my recipes lately and everytime it ends up tasting amazing! When I was making brownies the other day, I was curious if I could substitute other liquids for water in boxed brownie mix to add more flavor to them. I directly substituted 3 tablespoons of Bailey’s for the 3 tablespoons of water along with the addition of a teaspoon of espresso powder and the brownies turned out perfect! Just a little hint of Bailey’s really took my boxed brownie mix to the next level!
Now I know, using boxed brownie mix sounds really basic but I think that it makes the process so easy and the brownies turn out nice and consistent. With the Bailey’s and espresso powder, no one will ever have any idea that the base is boxed brownie mix unless you tell them.
