Four Roses Brownies (Bourbon Fudge Brownies)

Desserts

Using Four Roses Bourbon in your Brownie recipe takes these beauties to another level. These Bourbon Fudge Brownies are dense, rich, and touch with Bourbon.

I have several recipes on my blog where Bourbon is a start ingredient. You have my Bourbon Pecan Sticky Buns, Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce, and my Bourbon and Cinnamon Glazed Ham. I can never understand people who can take Bourbon straight or even with Cola (I am not a dark liquor girl). However, Bourbon is perfect for adding flavor to baked goods, especially with chocolate. It brings out the flavor of the chocolate and you can taste more of the flavors in the Bourbon. 

In this Bourbon Fudge Brownies recipes, I used Four Roses Bourbon, which has a deep Bourbon flavor where you can taste spices and touches of fruit. Not to mention it is very smooth. At least, so I was told (I’m currently two months pregnant so I wouldn’t necessarily know in my current state). In any case, I have had a bite of the finished product and these Bourbon Fudge Brownies are definitely boozy and filled with lots of flavors. 

One of the best things about this brownie recipe is the Bourbon Chocolate ganache topping. You start off by making the chocolate ganache as normal with heavy cream and chocolate. Then you had two tablespoons of the Four Roses Bourbon. Trust me, that takes it to a new level of booziness. In fact, I’m going to have to make the ganache for other recipe ideas like Chocolate Covered Strawberries. 

Overall, these Bourbon Fudge Brownies made with Four Roses Bourbon are perfect for the grown and sexy. They are the perfect treat for dinner parties or a sensual chocolate treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ c. Four Roses Bourbon
  • 1 c. flour
  • ½ tsp. Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • 1 c. light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • GANACHE
  • 2 tbsp. Four Roses Bourbon
  • ⅔ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ⅓ c. heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8X8 square pan with aluminum foil and spray with baking spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter on low to medium heat. Once melted add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and add the Four Roses Bourbon and vanilla extract
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, light brown sugar, and egg. Whisk together. Add the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread evenly into the square pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Once baked, allow it to cool.
  4. Meanwhile, add the chocolate chips for the ganache to a bowl. Add the heavy cream to a microwave-proof measuring cup and heat for about 1 minute or until cream comes to steam. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth.

    Nicole I’ve found many favorites from your blog that are regular meals in my home. I don’t eat a lot of sweets so I’ve never thought about trying my hand at making them, although I do love brownies and this recipe provides great instruction that I am going to make these delicious looking brownies this weekend. Thank you ~
