My daughters and I love homemade brownies. We experimented with many recipes and finally came up with this family favorite. The rich, satiny frosting and the butterscotch chips are irresistible.

These excellent for anyone who loves dark chocolate!..I even added instant coffee granules to the brownies. I Did not have bittersweet chocolate but used some semi and some unsweetened..I didn't cut back the sugar because of this and they turned out fine. Will definitely keep this recipe in mind!

I don't care for dark chocolate quite this much, if I ever did make them, I would have to replace the unsweetened and bittersweet chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate.

These brownies are a family favourite and one we make any time we have the ingredients. We love them and my kids make them as often as they can, as they vanish so fast. They're a keeper for sure and going in my recipe box.
