Notes
Double Recipe: feel free to double this recipe, if needed.
Saucepan: you can also make this in a saucepan - just warm slightly on the stove until it starts to thin.
Paleo: be sure to use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
Dairy Free: simply use plant-based butter.
Bourbon: option to omit, if you want, or use more if you want - I would add an additional teaspoon at a time.
