Bourbon and vanilla enhance the rich chocolate flavor of these moist brownies. If you don't want to use bourbon, use hot milk in its place.

Very good recipe! To avoid brownies being too cakey, I added whole chocolate chips into batter, was careful not to overmix, and slightly undercooked it. Very fudgey!

Delicious. I couldn't taste the bourbon on day one, but definitely could day 2 and beyond. Definitely more of a cake-like consistency brownie. I too used an 8" square pan and baked for 30 minutes total.

Yum! These were fabulous! They had more of a cake-like consistency than I expected, but simply delicious!

This was wonderful. Slight hit of bourbon, rich, fudgy taste, with a lite crunchy top. It's a keeper!!!!!

The bourbon worked at making these delicious brownies although I would have liked a little more of the bourbon taste to come through! My family loved them. I did them in an 8x8 pan for 35 minutes.

I made these exactly as written, and they turned out really well. I would add walnuts next time. Covered, they stayed delicious for a good week or more after they were cooked. I'm not sure I'd make these for a special occasion, but they're definitely delish.
