Bourbon-Cream Cheese Brownies

You just may have to make a double batch of these yummy brownies! When I send a plate of these in with my husband to work for his co-workers to enjoy they are gone before the morning is over. If you don’t have a 9-inch pan, use your 8-inch and cook a few minutes longer. Enjoy!
