These chewy squares ooze brown sugary butterscotch. They becrumb the lips and besmear the chin, like home-baked goodies should.
I really don’t think I’m an idiot. And I followed the directions to the letter. But the pan size is too small and these puppies overflowed filling my kitchen with a delightful odor of burned butterscotch brownies!
These brownies ARE as good as the initial description. Many of brownie recipes I’ve used in the past have the potential to turn cakey if you bake them too long. Try five minutes less the next time.
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.
