How to Make Dark Chocolate Butterscotch Brownies

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.
  3. Gently stir in 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup butterscotch chips.
  6. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. While the brownies are baking, melt ½ cup butterscotch chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Once the brownies are baked, immediately spread the melted butterscotch mixture evenly over the warm brownies.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the brownies to set and makes for cleaner cuts.
