cookbook. I figured since they have green sugar on top they'd look very holiday-ish. Plus they had a lot of mint extract, which I figured I could replace with Baileys. That way I wouldn't have to worry about adding too much liquid, and I assumed the chocolate wasn't quite as strong as in other brownies so that the mint (or as I did it, Baileys) would come through. I was right! They are perfect Baileys Brownies. The liquor flavor isn't too strong, but it definitely comes through. One problem, I'm not a huge Baileys fan...I don't dislike it, I just don't love it either...so these brownies, while good, aren't my favorite. I am going to make them again for St. Patty's Day with the green sugar on top (I didn't want to waste it on a trial batch as it's a little pricey). So I'll post a photo when I make that batch.
In addition, after the holiday, I'm going to try these with different flavored liquors...perhaps Kahlua or Frangelico. And I love mint, so I'll definitely try them in their original form too!
