Mint Irish Cream Brownies
Brownies with frosting have more fun, and these definitely have more fun. Not only is there Baileys in the frosting, but we baked it straight into the brownie as well. We added some mint extract to the frosting to give it a fun St. Patrick's Day vibe, but you can skip if you don't like it.

DIRECTIONS
- Make brownies: Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9"-x-9" pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together brownie mix, eggs, oil, and Baileys. Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in middle of brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until smooth, then add Baileys, mint extract, and a pinch of salt and beat until combined. Add remaining cup of powdered sugar and a few drops of green food coloring and beat until smooth.
- Frost cooled brownies, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
