Irish Coffee Brownies



I came up with these one day when I couldn't find a good Irish coffee brownie recipe elsewhere.  I used extra dark cocoa, which made them even more awesome.

Brownies:
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1 cup cocoa
2 1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 Tbsp instant coffee
1/4 cup Irish whiskey
1 tsp salt 1 cup flour

BROWNIE INSTRUCTIONS: Melt butter + cocoa in saucepan. Remove from heat, mix in sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, coffee & whiskey. Add flour and stir just until incorporated, don't overbeat. Bake in greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 25 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Frosting: 3 tsp instant coffee
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
1 stick (1/2 cup) softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
{about} 2 cups powdered sugar

FROSTING INSTRUCTIONS: Dissolve instant coffee in Bailey's Irish Cream. Cream together the butter, vanilla, and Bailey's/coffee mixture. Beat in powdered sugar gradually until desired fluffiness (you may want more/less than 2 cups) Frost brownies after they've cooled completely.
