Tips
Recipe can be prepared ahead of time. Cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 2 months. Let stand at room temperature 15-20 minutes before cutting.
Substitute dark rum or brandy for the bourbon. For a non-alcoholic option, substitute 2 tablespoons orange or apple juice.
For perfectly sharp edges, refrigerate bars until firm before cutting.
