Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 cup Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
2 tablespoons chocolate vodka
2 tablespoons clear creme de cacao
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
1 tablespoon chocolate vodka
1 tablespoon clear creme de cacao

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in liqueur, vodka and creme de cacao until blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa and baking powder until well mixed. Stir in semisweet chocolate chips. Fold chocolate chip mixture into butter mixture just until combined.

For glaze, mix all ingredients until smooth; spread over brownies. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
