Baileys Brownie Bites with Chocolate Ganache are delicious and perfect for any celebration! Addictive, moist, and flavorful, these will not disappoint.
These bites are amazing, no matter which flavor you use to compliment them. I alternate between Bailey’s Irish Cream, Kahlua and Grand Marnier and am unable to say which version I prefer best!
I suppose the best way to explain it is that, in my opinion, Bailey’s Irish Cream tastes somewhat like chocolate with a hint of vanilla, Kahlua is more of a coffee based addition and Grand Marnier is more orange based.
Usually, I grab the one I am in the mood for or have on hand.

Take the brownies out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.
I think this may be the best dessert I’ve ever made! What I like is that one is actually enough. I tried to put more Bailey’s 🙂 but it made them a little too gooey. Maybe longer cooking time would have worked. I didn’t use the 2nd portion of choc chips and they were still fantastic. My chocoholic friend who is a fantastic baker was impressed!!! A winner!
