ingredients
-
Brownies
- 177.44 ml butter, softened
- 473.18 ml sugar
- 9.85 ml vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 177.44 ml unsweetened cocoa
- 236.59 ml all-purpose flour
- 0.25 ml salt (optional)
-
Butterscotch Glaze
- 311.84 g package butterscotch chips
- 59.14 ml water
- 59.14 ml sugar
- 14.79 ml light corn syrup
-
Chocolate Ganache
- 118.29 ml whipping cream
- 236.59 ml semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
- For brownies: Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 15.5x10.5-inch jellyroll pan with foil and grease foil.
- Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Mix on low for 30 seconds then up speed and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape bowl down and add eggs, one at a time. Scrape bowl down again and blend in remaining brownie ingredients.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and cool 2 minutes in pan. Invert onto a cutting board, remove foil and flip back over onto a wire rack; cool completely.
- For butterscotch glaze: Place chips in mixer bowl. Bring water, sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn mixer on low and carefully pour in hot syrup. Mix until smooth. Cool slightly but use while still warm as mixture will set up as it cools.
- For chocolate ganache: Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Pour over chocolate chips and stir until mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Use while warm.
- To assemble brownies: Pour butterscotch glaze over brownies and spread evenly. Before glaze sets, slice brownie layer in half and stack one half on top of the other (so layers are glaze, brownie, glaze, brownie). Cool until glaze sets and drizzle top with ganache.

These are fantastic! I didn't use the chocolate ganache though. But I did put the butterscotch glaze on them. They are very tasty and very easy to make. -
Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ I just don't understand how a recipe like this apparently could have gone sooooo long without being made & reviewed before this! Are there only a few of us out there who not only LIKE chocolate AND butterscotch, but are also willing to try something like this? These are OUTSTANDING, double-whammys, & y'all should be ashamed of yourselves! Yes,they're rich; Yes, they're decadent; Yes, they're waaay over-the-top! What's your point ~ THEY'RE GREAT! Eat healthy the rest of your life, but TRY THESE, at least once! Or, make them, try one [AND enjoy it], then pawn the rest off on other willing guinea pigs! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
