Bourbon Fudge Brownies with Spiced Pecans
Ingredients
For Brownies:
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon whiskey
- 1-1/4 cups Imperial granulated sugar
- 1 cup Dutch processed cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped spiced candied pecans
- 16 spiced candied pecan halves
For Optional Sundaes:
- Dark Chocolate Ice Cream I used Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy
- Caramel Syrup or ice cream topping
- Dark Chocolate syrup or ice cream topping
- Additional spiced candied pecans or candied pecans
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with baker's release spray. I find a spritz directly on the bottom of the pan first will help the paper stay put.
- Whisk together the melted butter, vanilla, eggs and bourbon.
- Separately stir together the salt, flour, cocoa and sugar.
- Stir the dry mix into the wet and continue stirring until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and spread the batter into the parchment lined pan.
- Place the pecan halves on top of the batter, evenly spaced 4x4.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and removed without wet batter.
- Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- When cool, lift out the parchment and use a knife dipped in hot water to cleanly slice into squares.
- Serve brownies with ice cream, syrups, whipped cream and more pecans for a tasty sundae.
- Store remaining brownies in an airtight container.
