Welcome to Day Two of Christmas Week. This event is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen. We hope to inspire you to break out those holiday sprinkles and get your bake on!
Y’all know I love my bourbon. I have to say, I used to be a rum gal but these past few years, I’ve found myself baking and cooking more with bourbon. I love that smoky flavor it imparts and when I was thinking of recipes that I wanted to make for #ChristmasWeek, well, I had to do something a bit boozy, right? These Bourbon Brownies pack a bourbon punch – in the batter, in the “glaze” fresh out of the oven and in the frosting. If this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Clearly – these are not brownies for the little ones. These Bourbon Brownies are strictly for the grown folks – those that enjoy a good glass of that amber nectar after a long day at work. Just grab one of these brownies and a hot toddy of sorts and curl up by the Christmas Tree. If you leave these for Santa – you better leave a note he might need a designated driver – or have Rudolph at the wheel. He might be a bit jolly after a few of these.
On to the recipe:
Gather your ingredients
Let’s start to make this brownie mix – first – bring the sugar and butter to a furious bubble
Adding a bit of pecan love to the rich deep chocolate batter
Ahhhhh… bourbon frosting too – hey – it’s a double duty ingredient
Now – look at these lovelies
I wonder if there’s a two brownie limit…
