Whiskey In A Brownie Recipe?
Whiskey. Bacon. Brownies.
That pretty much says it all, right? I’ve combined three of my favorite things into one bite-sized dessert.
So this is how my Father’s Day dinner is going to go – this steak with onion sauce, these roasted mustard potatoes and finally these Whiskey Bacon Brownies. And yes, I’m actually helping cook my Father’s Day meal this year. Now that I finally know how I’ve got to step up to the plate.
Like I’ve said many times before I’m not a dessert maker. Not a baker, not even really good at throwing cookies in the oven. That’s why for desserts I go to the experts. For this brownie recipe I went to the Cookies and Cups website and used one of her awesome brownie recipes that I knew would work good with my whiskey bacon topping.
And I was totally right.
How To Make Whiskey Bacon Brownies
I followed the recipe for the brownies exactly (sort of) but then added a couple of extras at the end. One large pour of whiskey was first…
Next was a whole bunch of crumbled bacon…
Stir that all together and then bake for 20 minutes. JUST until the center is set – I am told – so that they don’t dry out.
While the brownies are baking you can get the topping put together. This is pretty much a german chocolate cake topping…minus the coconut…plus whiskey and bacon.
As you see I follow things exactly.
Let the brownies cool all the way and then spread the topping all over the top in an even layer. Cut into squares and serve.
