Mom’S Brownies With Bailey’S Chocolate Buttercream

• FOR THE BROWNIES:
• 1/2 cups Butter
• 4 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Baking Chocolate
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 whole Large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 3/4 cups Flour
• 1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts (optional)
• _____
• FOR THE FROSTING:
• 1/2 pounds Butter, Room Temperature
• 6 cups Icing Sugar (you Might Not Need All Of It)
• 1-1/2 ounce, weight Semisweet Baking Chocolate
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons Bailey's (taste It--you'll Know When It's Enough)

1. For the brownies:
2. 1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
3. 2. Melt butter and chocolate.
4. 3. Blend in sugar.
5. 4. Blend in eggs one at a time (make sure chocolate mixture isn't too hot before you add the eggs).
6. 5. Add vanilla.
7. 6. Stir in flour and nuts.
8. 7. Spread in a greased 8x8 pan (I used a 9x9, which is why my brownies are so skinny).
9. 8. Bake at 350u0b0F for 30 minutes.
10. For the frosting:
11. 1. Beat butter until fluffy. Add icing sugar until desired consistency is reached (you'll still have to add more).
12. 2. Chop and melt chocolate in a double boiler. When chocolate is smooth, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
13. 3. Add chocolate, vanilla, and Bailey's to the frosting and beat until smooth.
14. 4. Add more icing sugar until it gets back to the right consistency.
15. 5. Frost your cooled brownies and chow down. (I recommend not over-icing them like I did).
