Brownies w/Jack Daniel's Frosting

[Mare749]

This is the recipe that Billy posted a while back. Just made it today and have to tell all of you how good it is, especially with a good strong cup of coffee. Now that I'm thinking about it, a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be even better. Fantastic!

Eat Your Heart Out Brownies w/Jack Daniel's Frosting
Recipe by: Monica Grinnel courtesy of BJ Cotton

BROWNIES
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
10 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick & 2 1/2 Tbs), softened
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
JACK DANIELS FROSTING
1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons half and half
1 tablespoon Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. 1. BROWNIES: Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9- X 13-inch baking pan. In the top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate and butter together.

2. 2. Beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until the consistency of mayonnaise, about 4 to 5 minutes.

3. 3. Stir the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Add the flour, vanilla and almond extract and stir until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

4. FROSTING: In the top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate and butter.

5. 2. Combine the powdered sugar, half-and-half, whiskey and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the melted chocolate and butter and beat until smooth. The mixture will be slightly runny but will stiffen as it cools. Spread over cooled brownies.
