Tips:
- Use unsalted butter for the brandy butter and hard sauce to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- To make sure the butter is at room temperature, leave it out on the counter for about 30 minutes before using.
- If you don't have any powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending granulated sugar in a food processor until it's fine and powdery.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar in the hard sauce.
- If you want a boozy brandy butter, add an extra tablespoon or two of brandy to the recipe.
- Both brandy butter and hard sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
Brandy butter and hard sauce are two classic holiday condiments that are easy to make and add a delicious touch to your favorite desserts.

Both are perfect for spreading on fruitcake, gingerbread, or cookies, or for topping off a warm bowl of bread pudding or apple crisp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own delicious brandy butter or hard sauce to enjoy this holiday season.
