Hot Fudge Bourbon Sauce

Method

Brownie Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt Butter and Combine Sugars

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool slightly. Then, whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    Bake the Brownies

    Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  6. 6

    Cool Brownies

    Once done, remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

  3. 9
