Brownie Points (Brownies with Baileys Chocolate Buttercream)

Making a good brownie is hard! Seriously. The are either too fudgy or too dry. Not enough chocolate, or too much chocolate. I find that they are really, really challenging to do right. I found one brownie recipe I LOVE and I tweak it for every occasion. Can't mess with the best afterall. Plus good brownies are hard to make from scratch so I stick with what I know and love.
