Bourbon Pecan Brownies
Jan 11, 2025 11:40 AM
These bourbon pecan brownies are not for the faint of heart. They’re a rich, fudgy brownie recipe studded with pecans and amped up with chocolate flavor thanks to a little bourbon baked right in. The texture is thick and chewy, with so much flavor!
A dash (or two) of bourbon whiskey brings delicious, toasty flavor to my favorite fudgy brownies. These bourbon pecan brownies are rich and chocolatey, with a splash of bourbon whiskey that makes the flavors pop. Optional, but totally recommended!
Here’s why you need to make a batch ASAP:
They’re so easy to make! The batter for these brownies is quick and needs only a few easy baking ingredients. Have a warm pan of brownies on the counter in under an hour.
Every bite is super fudgy. A little bourbon goes a long way toward the perfect rich, chewy, and chocolatey brownies. The whiskey flavor isn’t strong at all, but it makes the chocolate flavors shine.
They’re packed with nutty crunch. The chocolate and pecan combination is irresistible, but you can use any nut you like. I also couldn’t resist adding chocolate chips to the mix. Melty, gooey chocolate pockets in a fudgy brownie? Yes!
You’ll want to make them all the time. These brownies are great for potlucks and holidays (nothing says “Good cheer” like a boozy brownie!). Serve them as they are, or top them with ice cream and caramel sauce for a decadent after-dinner treat.
