Butterscotch Brownies

This butterscotch brownies recipe is chewy and sweet. Made with butter and brown sugar, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

When I married my husband, my mother-n-law gave me a book of recipes she made for their family. This butterscotch brownie recipe was one of the many gems I found and I have to say one of my favorites. 

Blondie or Brownie

Technically I think these dessert bars are actually blondies. I am calling them brownies because they are chewy and have a similar texture to a brownie not a cookie. 

How to make

• Place brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and butter in mixing bowl. Mix until combined. 
• Slowly mix in combination of flour, baking soda and salt.

• Pour batter into prepared brownie pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper. If not using parchment, spray with non-stick spray.
• Bake for 30 minutes and then let cool. 

Tips for making Butterscotch Brownies

• Don’t over cook the brownies. When you take them out of the oven they might not seem quite done. Let them sit and cool and they will be perfect.
• Make sure butter is softened before mixing.
• Use parchment paper to line pan and easily lift brownies out once cooled. 

If you love the chewy texture of a brownie, you will love this butterscotch version! If you try this recipe be sure to rate and leave a comment.
