Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 16 brownies
Skill Level: Intermediate
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Crown Royal whisky
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, for sprinkling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until well blended.
- Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Crown Royal whisky, and mix until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking for fudgier brownies.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Use a spatula or knife to gently swirl the caramel into the brownie surface.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Helpful Tips
For a more pronounced whisky flavor, increase the Crown Royal to 3/4 cup and reduce the butter by 1/4 cup. You can also use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own using your favorite recipe. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Ingredient Substitutions
Not a fan of whisky? Substitute it with brewed coffee for a rich mocha flavor. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Pairings
Serve these decadent brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair beautifully with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or a neat pour of Crown Royal for an extra touch of luxe.
