Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease an 8-inch square pan.
- Melt together the butterscotch chips and margarine.
- Let the mixture cool slightly and then add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla, mixing well.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and miniature marshmallows.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like dark or white chocolate, to customize the sweetness. If you prefer a nutty texture, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Always ensure your butterscotch chips are fully melted before mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside Sandra'S Frosty for a delightful dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply microwave a square for about 10-15 seconds to restore the gooey texture, or enjoy them cold for a different experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, you can substitute regular granulated sugar for brown sugar, but the flavor and texture might be slightly different. Brown sugar adds moisture and a deeper flavor, so the brownies may be less chewy if you use white sugar.
What can I use instead of miniature marshmallows?
If you don't have miniature marshmallows, you can chop regular marshmallows into smaller pieces. Alternatively, consider using chocolate-covered marshmallow candies for a fun twist, or omit them entirely for a more traditional brownie.
Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, like baking powder, are gluten-free as well. The texture may vary slightly, but they will still be delicious!
