Okay, I’ll admit it: I am not a brownie fan, but these Bourbon Brownie Bars that my mom makes are to die for. I request them each time I go home to Florida for a holiday visit. My mom usually makes these around Christmas time, but they can also be a hit at New Year’s Eve parties as well!
They are full of not just chocolatey goodness but the Creme de Menthe in the frosting layer part and bourbon on top is to die for. It’s the ultimate booze treat in my opinion. Once you get hooked, you will never look at brownies the same way again.
