  • 1 18 oz box brownie mix plus ingredients called for on the box
  • 2 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur
Frosting
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  • Prepare brownie batter according to packaging instructions. Stir in espresso powder and Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur.
  • Add batter to muffin tin. Bake for 25 minutes.
  • When you remove the brownies from the oven, immediately press the bottom of a shot glass in the center of each to form them into cups.
  • Let brownies cool completely.
  • While the brownies are cooling, add butter for the frosting to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur.
  • Beat until combined completely.
  • Add powdered sugar. Beat on low until sugar is incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, making sure to scrape down the sides every so often.
  • Pipe filling into cooled brownie cups. Top with St. Patrick's Day themed sprinkles, if desired.
