How to Make Butterscotch Brownies to Live For

Butterscotch brownies are a variation of the classic "blondie," made with brown sugar and chunks of milk chocolate for a richer flavor. They're commonly found at many bake-offs and baking events in the South, but you don't have to venture far to enjoy this delicious treat. Here's how to whip up your own batch of butterscotch brownies.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 4 tbs. fresh butter
• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 tbs. 1% milk
• 1 lb. milk chocolate pieces
• ½ cup pecans, chopped
• ½ cup walnuts, chopped
• 10-by-15 inch jelly roll pan

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Spray the jelly roll pan with baking spray, and set aside.
3. Prepare flour mixture. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
4. Prepare batter. Mix the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy.
5. Add eggs. Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined, then add vanilla.
6. Combine mixtures. Slowly add half the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture, then add the milk. Stir completely until smooth.
7. Add remaining flour and combine thoroughly.
8. Slowly fold in the chocolate and nuts, combining completely.
9. Prepare to bake. Pour the batter into the pan using a spatula, and spread out until even. Make sure chocolate chunks are studded evenly throughout the pan.
10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly brown. Batter should be cooked completely in the center of the pan.
11. Leave to cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.
12. Serve, and enjoy!
