Bono Brownies

I bought a small bottle of Irish Cream to make this Chocolate Chip Irish Cream Pound Cake last week. It was definitely worth it, but only having used 1/2 cup I still had a ton left over. I wanted to find another recipe that called for Irish Cream to make the investment even more justified. I found this one after a quick Internet recipe search and since I already had the other ingredients required I figured it would be the perfect way to use up a little extra Irish Cream by making these for my coworkers.
