These moist, fudgy Double Chocolate Bourbon Brownies with Hershey’s Chocolate Frosting might be the best brownies you’ll ever taste! The bourbon adds a smoky note that works perfectly with the chocolate, especially the milk chocolate frosting. Perfect for celebrating the Kentucky Derby!
While perusing the Internet for Kentucky Derby party ideas for my other blog, Pine Cones and Acorns I came across this recipe from Broma Bakery and I knew it would be perfect for the weekend.
After all, the Kentucky Derby is all about the bourbon and the horses. The only thing I changed was the frosting. I made these amazing brownies with my favorite frosting from Hershey’s instead.
I hope that you enjoy these brownies and your weekend!

As always, I will try your recipe because they are always wonderful. However, as much as I love frosting, I might skip that part. Too much of a good thing might be too much for me.
