This is the best recipe for butterscotch brownies I’ve ever tried. Others complain that they are too cake-like, but that is what I like about them. Other recipes I’ve tried puff up on the sides and carmelize in the center and bottom – not a problem with these.
I used 1 cup shredded cocunut instead of walnuts and skipped the frosting because they are plenty sweet and delicious without it.
Delicious! I also used only 2 eggs, and got a nice, chewy brownie. I also halved the recipe (so, actually, I used 1 egg) and baked it in an 8X8 and it turned out great. I slightly undercooked them, too. I did not make the frosting. I had another butterscotch brownie recipe that I’ve used over the years but will replace it with this one.
Surprised I found this here, first was in early 90’s from some cookbook; and since then a firm favourite with everyone who’d tried it. The other surprise was I never knew about the frosting part, lol. Nevertheless, the brownies have been good unfrosted, and warm from oven. I reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup. I’ve used pecans at times, and added some mini choc chips to the batter other times too. Yum.
Great brownies and the qiuck mix recipe was the easiest…….i added butterscotch chips along with the walnuts…plus my husband thought they needed cream cheese frosting!!!!donnag
I love this recipe!! Since i’m allergic to nuts I omitted them, but in the icing, I added some cocoa and choco chips (had to use them) and I also used pumpkin spice coffee (because it’s the holidays) and it came out AWESOME!!! About to take it to a halloween party!!!
I made this recipe with 2 eggs per another review, used pecans instead of walnuts. I did that make any frosting as they were delicious without. my family loved them and actually fought over them. They requested me to make these again. these are now on my list of sweets to make regularly.

Very good brownie. Mine didn’t quite “ooze” – they were cake-like, as others have said. I will agree with another reviewer that you can half the amount of frosting…unless you like gobs of it! I also used dark brown sugar rather than light because that was what I had in the house, and they still turned out fine. They also went great with a cup of coffee!
Really good–however, NEVER make these with the egg product made with mostly egg whites and some yolk–it made the brownies fluffy and sort of like a dense cake. They tasted pretty good, but it definitely wasn’t what I wanted!
Ingredients :
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Melt 1 cup butter in a large saucepan. Add 2 cups light brown sugar and beat well to mix. Cool the mixture slightly, then beat in eggs and vanilla.
Sift together all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Stir it into the wet ingredients, then add the nuts. Mix well.
Spread batter in a greased 11 x 7 x 2-inch pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a light gold. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out of pan and let brownies finish cooling on a rack.
To Make Frosting: Disolve coffee in the water. Cream 1/2 cup butter with confectioner’s sugar. Beat it until light. Beat into the sugar mixture. Spread over the brownies. When frosting has set, cut brownies into squares. Enjoy!
