Butterscotch brownies

Rich, fudgy and outrageously chocolatey, these butterscotch brownies are so EASY to make and so addicting!

Fall is probably my favorite season. It may have something to do with my birthday, or with the month long celebration of anything chocolate, but whatever the reason I’m enjoying every second of it!

Fall is also the season I crave butterscotch and cinnamon like there’s no tomorrow. And pumpkin everything! Does that happen to you as well? Of course in a couple of weeks for now I will tell you all about my love for peppermint, but for today let’s stick with butterscotch.

Butterscotch and incredible rich brownies, so rich it’s like biting into fudge! I mean, just look at them!

You know what’s the secret to fudgy brownies? Fluffy eggs, a touch of brown sugar and just a little flour. Of course the brown sugar makes these butterscotch brownies slightly chewy.

The eggs help develop the cracked top. They may look ugly, but they are absolutely irresistible! To take them up a notch you could pour some butterscotch sauce on top of them as soon as you take them out of the oven, but I did not have any on hand.

Although I love the richness and depth of flavor cocoa powder gives to brownies, fudgy brownies almost always require some melted chocolate. 11 oz for a 11X7″ pan. Yes, these brownies are über chocolatey! 

These brownies are super easy and you probably have all the ingredients except for the butterscotch chips.

While you melt the chocolate and the butter (I prefer the microwave and if you do too, remember to stir every 30 seconds so you don’t burn the chocolate) beat the eggs with vanilla and sugars until fluffy and pale in color! For best results, the eggs much be at room temperature.

Once the eggs are foamy, stir in the melted chocolate and give it a light beat.

Gently fold in the flour, without incorporating to much air into the batter. This ensures your brownies will turn out fudgy and not cake-y.

Last but not least, fold in the butterscotch chips. If you’re not a big fan of butterscotch or don’t have any on hand, use cinnamon chips, toffee or caramel bits or plain old chocolate chips!

If you’re still craving chocolate after trying these butterscotch brownies, I’m sure you’ll find something else at this year’s chocolate party to satisfy your desires!
