1&1/2 cups walnuts or pecans
2 cups Bailey's Irish cream and a glass of crushed ice
Final preparation Ingredients:- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 cup butter
- 3 Tablespoons rum
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tablespoon solid vegetable shortening

Bake brownies :

- Mix until creamy.
- Add dry ingredients.
- Mix until well blended; add vanilla.
- Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
- Pour mix into pan.
- Bake at 350* for 25 minutes, or until pick comes out clean.
Pour half of baileys over crushed ice in a straight edged glass, sip while brownies bake, post on TRT or be a lurker.
Drizzle brownies with bourbon as soon as they are removed from the oven; refrigerate. Cream butter, rum and powdered sugar. Spread on brownies once they are cool to the touch in the frige (better when totally cold)
Refrigerate again. When cold, melt chocolate chips and shortening. Spread or drizzle quickly on top of brownies. Make patterns, or think of using butterscotch chips and frangelica instead of chocolate chips and rum, or do both and make contrasting patterns. Chill, consume other half of Bailey's while the brownies cool in the frige again.
Serves 2.
