Rich and fudgy chocolate brownies infused with the luscious flavor of Baileys Irish Cream, perfect for an indulgent treat.
Yes! Baileys adds a rich, creamy flavor with hints of chocolate and vanilla that pairs perfectly with brownies. The alcohol mostly bakes off, leaving behind its signature taste.
They’ll have a subtle Baileys flavor, but the alcohol content evaporates during baking, so you’re left with a smooth, creamy finish—not a strong boozy taste.
If you don’t have Baileys, you can use other Irish cream liqueurs or a mix of heavy cream and a splash of vanilla or espresso extract. However, it won’t replicate the exact flavor.
Yes, once baked, the alcohol content in Baileys is significantly reduced, making it generally safe. However, if you’re concerned, use a Baileys-flavored syrup or non-alcoholic Irish cream alternative.
Dark or semi-sweet chocolate complements Baileys beautifully, balancing the sweetness and enhancing the creamy notes of the liqueur.
Absolutely! A Baileys-infused chocolate ganache or buttercream makes a delicious topping and enhances the flavor of the brownies even more.

I was skeptical about using Baileys. Instead, I used coffee creamer and they burned! Should have stuck to the recipe. Disappointing.
These brownies are amazing! I added some nuts and they turned out perfect! Can’t believe how easy it was to make!
Just wow. A bit rich for my taste but oh so gooood! Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!
YUMMY! These are my new favorite treat, I could eat them all day long! 😍
But are they really that special? I mean, it’s just brownies with a bit of booze, right?
I know right?! They are so gooood! 😋 Can’t wait to have another batch this weekend!
Is it supposed to be this runny? Mine didn’t set and was more of a pudding 🙁
Nothin special. Tasted just ok. Don’t see what the fuss is about. Maybe I’m not a brownie person.
