  1. lynfromnm REVIEW:

    Love the texture, chewy and soft. Can I make these in a 10x10 pan? 13x9 doesn't fit in my air fryer. Thanks!

    • A 10x10 pan will make the brownies thicker so you'll probably need to adjust the cooking time.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Very good, I was skeptical, because of the melting butter with brown sugar before adding eggs and other ingredients, and the consistency of the batter was all together different then other brownie recipes I have tried. I modified by adding butterscotch chips and the flavor is delicious, thick and moist, I will definitely make again.

  3. Blondie REVIEW:

    I have been making this recipe for about 15 years, it is the bomb! However today I just noticed something; Does the recipe call for 1/2 stick of butter or one and a 1/2 sticks of butter? I have definitely been making it with one and a 1/2 sticks of butter,YUM!

    • You are correct, the recipe states 1 1/2 sticks of butter (one and one half)

  4. Karen S REVIEW:

    These are absolutely fabulous. I had never made brownies from scratch. These were easy and came out great. Both times since I had to make a second batch. How can you adjust these for chocolate brownies?

    • We have tons of chocolate brownie recipes on the site - instead of trying to modify this one I'd recommend looking at those.

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I’ve made these three times and they are absolutely the best butterscotch brownie I’ve ever eaten. Everyone loves them!! It seems odd to add the vanilla to the dry ingredients but I do it and it works. For those whose brownies turned out hard after cooking... I’m guessing you heated the butter and sugar too long.

  6. Guest Foodie

    A whole POUND of brown sugar?

  7. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I have these for years it is my family and my favorites. This recipe is new for me and turns out perfect every time. They are so buttery and good.

  8. rescuer99 REVIEW:

    I set a pan of these down in the breakroom at the start of an office party. A few minutes later I looked over and they were GONE. Handed out the recipe left and right. Winner!!

  9. ilovechilitexas REVIEW:

    AMAZING recipe!! Not much of a sweets eater but even I had a second piece. Kids and husband devoured it!

  10. Cocoa No Go REVIEW:

    I've never been a fan of chocolate brownies but I like the texture so I thought I would try these. Fantastic! It didn't say what kind of nuts to use so I used pecans. I think walnuts might have been better. I liked the suggestion in the reviews about adding butterscotch chips so I'll try that next time (or white chips) but I didn't have any on hand this time.

  11. ninsley REVIEW:

    Delicious!! And easy, too. I took them into work where one coworker had fourths!

  12. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    WOW!!!!! These are incredible!

  13. trish

    Right out of the oven these butterscotch brownies are absolutely delicious. But when they cool they are so hard! They aren't overcooked. What am I doing wrong?

  14. Guest Foodie

    I tried this recipe and the brown sugar did not melt. When I let it cool, the butter and sugar mixture hardened. Do I have to melt the butter & sugar on a low heat or blend it?

    • Yes, in order to melt butter you will need heat. You can do it in a saucepan on the stovetop (best method) or in a microwave safe dish on low in the microwave.

  15. Aj's Mommy REVIEW:

    Wonderful!!! My mother has been making this receipe since I was a kid and now I'm making it for my little one! I omit the nuts and include butterscotch chips, about a cup. It's yummy!

  16. confused

    I'm confused...how long (approximately) do you have to wait before you add the eggs? I waited too long, and the sugar and butter hardened.

  17. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    A super easy, if somewhat time consuming recipe. The flavor is incredible, soft and carmely. I added chopped pecans. The only thing the recipe didn't include is to MAKE SURE that the butter and brown sugar combination is melted or the brownies will be grainy. The takes quite a long time on med-low heat, but certainly worth it!

  18. Taylor REVIEW:

    They turned out delicous! I will be sure to make them again!

  19. baker48 REVIEW:

    Best Ever! Yummy, almost like a peanut butter brownie. Moist, yummy, OMG! Easy. (I omit the nuts) I have been looking for this recipe since the internet was invented and I learned to use it!

  20. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    These are easy to make and they turn out amazingly delicious = )
