Has anyone tried this with Bailey’s instead?Â
I used whiskey in place of the vanilla and replaced half of the half&half with whiskey and it tasted fabulous!
Could I freeze these brownies if they are frosted?
Yes, freezing will be fine.
Wonder if you could use whiskey in place of the water in the brownie mix?
I used Irish whiskey in place of water in the brownie mix and it seemed to work ok but I think there is still very little whiskey flavor in these brownies
