These Butterscotch Brownies combine fudgy chocolate richness with buttery-sweet butterscotch for a nostalgic, indulgent dessert. Gooey, soft-centered, and full of caramel notes, they’re perfect for comfort baking or special occasions.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder or 3 oz melted chocolate

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)

3/4 cup butterscotch chips or shredded butterscotch candy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8″ or 9×9″ baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Sift or whisk in flour, cocoa powder (or melted chocolate), and salt until batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
  6. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle extra butterscotch chips or swirl in melted butterscotch, then top with remaining batter and swirl again if desired.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are set and center has moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick.
  8. Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for best fudgy texture.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch.

Swirl in caramel or dulce de leche for extra indulgence.

Mix in white chocolate chips for a creamier bite.

Use espresso powder to enhance the chocolate depth.

Adjust cocoa for a blondie-style variation.
