These are the BEST brownies ever -- try them with any other liqueur, or without alcohol. They're still great!

Source: Kelly Parent

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 squares semisweet chocolate
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. Grand Marnier

Melt chocolate. Add sugar, eggs, and butter. Mix dry ingredients. Add to chocolate mixture. Add vanilla. Place in greased 8x8-inch pan. Bake 25 minutes at 350. Immediately after baking, brush on Grand Marnier. Cool 1 hour.

Icing:
2 squares semisweet chocolate
2 tbsp. light cream or 2% milk
1 tbsp. Grand Marnier (or can use 1 tbsp cream and 2 tbsp G.M.)
2 tbsp. butter
1 cup confectioner's sugar

Melt chocolate and butter together. Stir in cream and Grand Marnier. Add icing sugar. Spread on cooled brownies.

These are supposed to sit for 24 hours before eating. (but I have never actually managed this!)
