Baileys Brownies

Usually reserved for holidays or special occasions, my bottle of Bailey’s made an unusual appearance today.

A BBQ dessert request pointed to one recipe and one recipe only- How Sweet It Is’s Bailey’s Brownies.

I’ve returned to Jessica’s Bailey’s Brownie recipe many times. Opening the post only to drool over the idea of a drunken Irish brownie.  The blogger behind How Sweet It  Is, this girl knows how to do desserts. So, without further adieu…
