Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease sides and bottom of a 9-inch square pan with butter or margarine.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and butterscotch chips over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and vanilla.
- Add the beaten egg and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with additional mini marshmallows. Ensure the butter and butterscotch chips are fully melted for a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix when combining wet and dry ingredients, as this can affect the texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful dessert. They pair beautifully with a drizzle of Grandma Allen'S Fudge Sauce for an indulgent treat. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of milk to enhance the flavors. They also make a great addition to potlucks or dessert tables.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator where they can last for up to a week. To reheat, microwave individual squares for about 10-15 seconds to restore their gooey texture, or enjoy them cold for a firmer bite.
