Mudslide Brownies

Mudslide Brownies – Rich and fudgy brownies spiked with a little Kahlua and topped with a Bailey’s buttercream frosting. Tastes like a Mudslide for dessert!

I hear the Oscars are this weekend.  Everywhere I turn there are ads, commercials, and party ideas for the Oscars.  I have to say, I am not much of a movie person.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching movies.  But once I see it once, I don’t really ever need to see it again.  It is entertaining for the 2 hours I am watching it, but after that I am done.  We have a friend who is obsessed with movies, and he does not understand how I do not have a “favorite” movie.  So needles to say, I won’t be watching the Oscars on Sunday.  But, I do have a dessert that would be great to snack on if you are watching them.  Even if you don’t watch them, you are going to want to make these.

I think I have made it know around here that brownies are my all time favorite dessert.  And the fudgier the better.  So why not turn a classic cocktail into my favorite dessert?  A Mudslide is a creamy chocolate and coffee flavored cocktail, that is topped with whipped cream.  It has all the makings for a perfect dessert.  Boozy desserts are kind of a big thing around the internet.  A trend I really haven’t gotten into, until now! Mudslide Brownies are kind of a great way try it out.

I adjusted my favorite brownie recipe for these mudslide brownies.  They are fudgy, rich, chocolate-y, and full of coffee flavor.  Then I topped them with an Irish cream buttercream frosting.  The perfect combination sweet, chocolate, and coffee.  I brought these brownies to my son’s school to share with the teachers.  I was a little concerned they would be over powering, but they were a hit.  Everyone loved them, and they disappeared so quickly!
