Ingredients
- one stick butter (if salted, adjust salt added)
- 2 cups good quality butterscotch morsels (11 oz bag)
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and liberally grease a 13 x 9 pan.
- Add the butter and butterscotch morsels to the saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and stir the two ingredients as they melt. Make sure the butter has melted fully and most of the chips have melted. (You may have a few chunks of butterscotch chips - that's fine.)
- Transfer the melted butter mixture to a large bowl. Add the brown sugar and stir until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined to prevent the brownies from becoming too dense.
- Spread evenly in a 13 x 9 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35 minutes. Check the doneness with either a toothpick at 32 minutes; butterscotch brownies can go from perfectly baked to overdone quickly.
- Let the butterscotch bars cool in the pan and on a wire rack for 10 - 15 minutes before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
You can store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or refrigerate for up to two weeks. These also freeze well. Just put them in a gallon freezer bag in a single layer or put a piece of parchment paper between two layers. They will keep for three months.
