Yummy! I got a bottle of Bailey's for Christmas and this was one of the first recipes I decided to make. It was absolutely delicious and looked as pretty as the picture. I also made only half the frosting and it was enough. Thanks for posting.

Delicious!! Took closer to 30 minutes to bake in my oven and they do seem to go from done to slightly overdone very quickly indeed, so the next time I'll keep checking constantly! I didn't quite kill the brownies, but they did end up a touch more dry than I would have liked - my fault entirely (or perhaps a reason to be very liberal with the Bailey's drizzle? Hmm.)! Still: glorious taste. Oh so very good! Halved the frosting as per others' suggestion. A fantastic recipe - thank you lazyme!

SO GOOD! These are quite possibly the best brownies I've ever had. I did halve the frosting and it was plenty for me. Also, I kept them in the refrigerator and they ended up with a consistency similar to fugde - you gotta try this! I can't get enough of these. Thanks!

Mine was a delcious gooey mess, so I am going to withold a rating until I can figure out why. I ended up baking for nearly 45 minutes and it still didn't end up where I wanted it. Will try again though as the batter was divine and I"m still going to eat said gooey mess lol.

This was a wonderful treat. I used boxed mix brownies and homemade baileys and it was super easy and well liked. I think I was a little to liberal with my drizzle which made for goupy brownies, perhaps some more soaking time would be good. Thanks!
