Double Frosted Bourbon Brownies are super moist and chocolaty brownies with tons of walnuts, drizzled with two coatings of frosting. These rich and boozy brownies are not for the faint of heart.
Calling all bourbon enthusiasts! Discover a match made in heaven with these Double Frosted Bourbon Brownies. The smooth notes of bourbon beautifully complement the fudge texture of brownies.
And they are not for children either since the bourbon is added to the cooked brownies. These are strictly an adult only treat. I’m ok with that.
With a hefty dose of bourbon flavor, these Double Frosted Bourbon Brownies are maybe only for bourbon lovers. Luckily there are a lot of those. Sweet, delicious bourbon. It goes so well with chocolate. And many other flavors. I have a whole section of bourbon recipes if you’d like to take a peak. 🙂
This is an old, old recipe I’ve had for ages from the To Market, To Market cookbook by the Jr. League of Owensboro. Junior League Cookbooks are the best aren’t they? I love when I stumble across an old one at a flea market. They really contain a treasure of community recipes.
Two Layers Of Frosting!
The creamy white icing adds a sweet contrast to the deep chocolate flavor of the brownies. The luscious chocolate glaze adds a glassy finish that will have your taste buds begging for more.
How To Store
These brownies can be stored at room temperature for about 4 days or in the refrigerator for about 7 days. Or they can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Recipe Tip
In order to get nice clean cuts, it helps to not only completely cool the brownies, but to refrigerate them for a few hours.
These Double Frosted Bourbon Brownies are truly decadent. Drizzling, or maybe I should say soaking, the brownies with bourbon makes an extra moist and fudge-like brownie. They would be truly delicious on their own, but they’re taken to another level of deliciousness with a layer of white icing and a chocolate glaze. Truly scrumptious. Good thing you won’t have to share with your kids.

Are the nuts needed because the bars are so rich? We have an allergy in my house, but I feel like it needs the nuts. (Any thoughts on whether toffee work instead?)
