With the Kentucky Derby season kicking off this weekend, I’d be remiss if I didn’t come up with something full of bluegrass goodness to share.
Kentucky is well known for its bourbon, but sweet sorghum has taken a bit of a back seat. I think this is a shame as the two are such a natural pairing, so I decided to let sorghum share the dessert spotlight on Derby Day.
Whether your favored horse makes the run for the roses, one bite of this rich brownie chock full of Kentucky goodness will certainly have you feeling like a winner.

- 1/2 cup of Butter
- 1/2 cup of Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup of Sweet Sorghum Syrup

- 2 ounces of Unsweetened Chocolate
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 390 degees.
- In a small sauce pan (or double boiler) melt chocolate and butter over a low heat. Stir frequently until fully melted and mixed. Remove from heat.
- Grease a 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add sweet sorghum, egg, and dark brown sugar. Whisk until completely mixed. Add bourbon, mix thoroughly. Add melted chocolate and mix in thoroughly.

Barb, this looks so delicious! I’m definitely going to have to try this recipe but I will substitute the sugar for another sweetener since I have removed sugar almost entirely from my diet.
Certainly you can likely use a substitute and just have a bourbon brownie, which I’m sure will be nummy too. If you do make, let me know how it turns out.
Best,
Barb
yumm i could totally go for a brownie right about now 🙂
