Shamrock Swirled Brownies

Published March 9, 2012 | By Jennifer Sikora

I’ve been sharing with you all the wonderful recipes I’ve been making with McCormick’s spices. This one is another one of my favorites! The cream cheese layer really bumps up the flavor in these decadent brownies. If you like liquor in your desserts, this recipe is originally made with Irish Creme, but I do not so I omitted that and just added a little more vanilla.
