Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces dark chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup toasted pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for praline icing)
• 1 cup brown sugar (for praline icing)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for praline icing)
• 0.25 cup toasted pecans, chopped (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon until smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted pecans, then pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 8

To make the praline icing, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a boil. Let boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the icing cool slightly before spreading over the cooled brownies.

Step 10

Sprinkle the praline icing with additional toasted pecans for garnish.

Step 11

Let the icing set for about 20-30 minutes before slicing the brownies into squares. Serve and enjoy!
