Recipes from Readers: Dark Chocolate Bourbon Brownies

from Videri Chocolate Factory

Fudgy brownies meet a healthy dose of bourbon, pockets of dark chocolate, and a sprinkling of sea salt on a perfectly crispy crust. This no-fuss recipe takes just one bowl and 10 minutes from start to oven.

4 ounces Videri 70% Classic Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup high-quality cocoa powder
¾ cup 70% Dark Chocolate Chips
flaky sea salt, for topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chopped 70% chocolate. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in sugar, then add in eggs one at a time, whisking to combine. Add bourbon and vanilla. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and kosher salt, mixing until the batter is glossy and smooth. Lastly, stir in the dark chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: Videri recommends using at least 70% chocolate, or one of their single origin bars to spice it up!
