"I found this simple recipe on the back of a chocolate chip package, and they are fantastic! I mixed butterscotch, bourdeaux syrup and caramel sauce for mine, however, one of the three would work as well. **NOTE: Be sure the caramel or butterscotch you use is the thickest one you can find. If you use a thin one, it will cause problems when setting."

OH MY WORD!!! I used the caramel topping, and these are dangerously yummy. I also used milk chocolate chips, personal preference. Excellent with coffee, tea, a big glass of cold milk OR just alone. I didn't read the directions well before starting and I put the whole amount of milk in - but that didn't seem to matter with the taste or chewiness. My hubby requested brownies for his birthday. He hates cake mixes, but he doesn't have a clue with this recipe. ;-) He loves them also. Good thing I didn't taste them before he got home.

I am going to try this again - mine never set? I (per Laurie) left mine in the fridge overnight, but still ended up with something that didn't form.

When I first took these out of the oven and let them cool for about 1/2 hour, I jsut had to take a bite. I thought that they were not done and thought what a waste! BUT I let them cool completely over nite and WOW. They are fantastic. Rich and chewy and great with a tall glass of milk! I used butterscotch/caramel topping and it made is awesome! Thanx for a recipe I will make again and again!
