Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) metal pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave.
  3. Remove from microwave and whisk in the sugar until thick and glossy.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time and then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 32-37 minutes.
  7. Cool the brownies completely before frosting.
  8. Make the Baileys buttercream by beating the butter, sugar, and Baileys together until thick and spreadable.
  9. Frost the cooled brownies and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Notes

One of my favorite tricks is to sprinkle a little sea salt on the ganache before it sets for enhanced flavor.
Store brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and do not overmix the batter.
Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder for a deeper flavor.
