Looking for that cross between delicious and spooky Halloween dessert? You’ve found it in these Bourbon Butterscotch Brownies!
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
9 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
5 extra-large eggs
1½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp sea salt
½ cup bourbon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butterscotch chips
Set the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 325°F.
Whisk together the bourbon glaze ingredients until smooth – refrigerate until needed.
In a saucepan, melt the chopped unsweetened chocolate, the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, half of the chopped bittersweet chocolate, and butter until smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt and bourbon until blended. Slowly stream in the melted chocolate while whisking. Whisk until combined.
Gradually whisk in the flour. Before all of the flour has been absorbed, put in the remaining half of bittersweet chocolate. Finish stirring with a spatula until the flour disappears.
Put a few butterscotch chips in the bottom of your baking pan (we used skull pans). Pour brownie batter on top, filling to about ¼ of an inch below the edge. Add a few more butterscotch chips to the top.
Bake for 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out almost clean (we want a little bit of gooeyness!)
Let the brownies cool to room temperature. To serve, drizzle glaze over the top.
2 tbsp bourbon
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Whisk together the bourbon glaze ingredients until smooth – refrigerate until needed.

The football season is in full swing, but just like a lot of things these days, it looks a little different. Most fans aren’t allowing fans to tailgate, and others are only allowing a few people in.
So, what’s a die-hard tailgater to do? Have it at home. In this article, we look at how to tailgate at home and have just as much fun.
When you tailgate on a campus, you see spirit wear everywhere from the clothing to the table decor. Make sure your home shows school spirit, too.
Be sure and decorate your home with your favorite teams colors or even both teams colors.
Consider setting up a tailgating tent in your backyard as well and don’t forget the television so everyone can watch the game.
While tailgating food is often simpler than other grilling fare, you can step it up a notch when you tailgate at home.
Whether you choose a traditional meal or an elaborate, pick the right food for the group coming to your home.
For example, if they typically love your burgers, serve those. Or, if some of your guests like beer, and some like wine, serve both.
You want really think about your playlists. Include the best music for yourself as well as your guests. Consider putting together a mix of rock, country, jazz, pop, and hip hop.
In addition, you can throw in both teams individual anthems. This way you’ll feel like you’re right there in the team’s parking lot.
Don’t forget the outdoor speakers to enhance the sound.
Your tailgate should be followed by plenty of football. If you can, set up a couple televisions or at least one in a prime spot.
The TV should be big enough for everyone to see it as well.
Give your tailgaters a front row experience right in the comfort of your own home.
Who knows? You might just find you enjoy tailgating at home as much as at the stadium.
Be sure to follow the COVID safety requirements in your area such as masks and social distancing to keep everyone safe.
