Here's a recipe I found in my Pillsbury recipe book, and I've shared with a few friends. It's a great recipe. The Kitchen tip and info were also in the recipe book.
Frosted Irish Cream Brownies
-------------------------------- Brownies: 1 (1lb 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
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, combine all brownie ingredients; beat 50 strokes with spoon. Spread in greased pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees 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.
4. Place glaze ingredients in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 second; stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle over frosted brownies. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into bars.
Ingredient Info: Irish cream liqueur contains Irish whiskey, sugar and cream. Depending on the brand, the liqueur may have spicy toffee or honey chocolate flavors.
Kitchen Tip: 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.
