Bourbon Brownies

Several years ago we had a dessert exchange at my old job.  A group of about 20 or so of us each brought in a shareable amount of cookies, brownies or another dessert and we shared them.

One of my co-workers made these brownies.  She shared the recipe with us, and I made them for a family party.  They were a hit!

1 package brownie mix

3 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

6 tbsp bourbon (a nip should be fine if you don't have a bottle of bourbon on hand)

1 stick plus 4 tbsp. butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

3 tbsp. rum

6 oz. semisweet chocolate

1. Prepare brownies according to package directions

2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, and sprinkle bourbon uniformly over brownies.  Cool thoroughly

3. Combine 1/2 cup of softened butter with the powdered sugar and rum.  Once blended, spread evenly over the brownies and chill for 1 hour

4. Melt the remaining butter and chocolate and drizzle over the brownies. Chill for 1 more hour, and cut into 1 inch squares to serve.
