Butterscotch Brownies – the most delicious and delightful brownies for the butterscotch fans.
Christmas is less than 2 weeks away, my favorite time of year. You know why? Because I love to bake, so now I actually have an excuse to bake all kinds of goodies for everyone.
So do you like butterscotch? I admit I don’t bake with butterscotch much, but boy do I love the smell of butterscotch. And these brownies smelled heavenly as they were baking. The great thing about these brownies is how easy they are to make. You just put a few ingredients in the mixer, mix, bake and voila.
You might want to ask your neighbors to come over and share these brownies with them, they won’t mind. Be neighborly, it’s Christmas time, butterscotch smell in the air, well that just means love is in the air. Watch their faces as they bite into these brownies and smiles form on their faces. Can you think of a better Christmas gift? I can’t!

Hi I tried this recipe out yesterday. It came together pretty well—I melted the butterscotch in the microwave and whisking by hand seemed to work better than using a stand mixer. I baked for the lower time amount and the chocolate chips DID melt in about 4 minutes, making it easy spread over the brownies.
I DIDN’T get a chance to try one, however—I was giving them away but they smelled wonderful and I don’t think you can go wrong with butterscotch and chocolate!
