Preparation
Step 1
Brownies
Combine flour, cocoa and salt in a small bowl, whisk to blend, set aside. In your mixing bowl. cream butter and sugar. Add in melted chocolates, mix until combined. Add in eggs, Guinness and vanilla and mix until combined. If you are making these as I did as mini's in a brownie pan or similar, Bake at 375 in a well greased pan for 8-10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If you are baking these in a 9/13 pan, bake for 23-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Buttercream
Combine Sugar, butter and Bailey's and mix well on med-high speed until smooth. Add in small bits of water until you get the consistency you like.
* I use the small "airplane" bottles from the liquor store. Each yields 1/4 cup (I used 1/4 cup in my buttercream) I keep a few of them on hand in different varieties for whenever the mood strikes to bake or cook with alcohol.
Frosting
Combine all ingredients and mix well until combined. Add more whiskey or powdered sugar until you get the consistency you like.
