Sweet Bourbon Butter Sauce

This bourbon sauce is super simple to make and ready in less than 10 minutes. Spoon it over bread pudding, ice cream, peaches, or just eat it with a spoon.

This sauce is a beautiful golden color; it’s buttery and melts in your mouth. It has a bourbon-forward taste. The first time you try this recipe, cut the amount of bourbon in half, taste the sauce, and add the remaining if desired. Of course, we like ours with a bold bourbon buttery flavor.
