4 servings · Easy
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus additional ingredients called for on the package (I used an 18-ounce box of Ghirardelli brownie mix, but anything similar will work fine)
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- For the Frosting:*
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 2 to 4 teaspoons bourbon plus additional, as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Sprinkles
Instructions
- Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Prepare brownies according to package instructions, and bake in prepared baking dish.
- While brownies are still warm, poke little holes all of the top of the brownies with a toothpick. Brush 2 tablespoons of bourbon over the top of the brownies, slowly allowing it to soak in.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- To prepare the frosting:
- In a small bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons of bourbon, vanilla, and salt. If needed, add another teaspoon or two of bourbon until frosting is spreadable.
- Spread brownies with bourbon frosting and garnish with sprinkles, if desired.
