How to Make Double Decker Butterscotch Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15.5x10.5 inch jelly roll pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal, and grease the foil.
- In a large mixer bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While brownies cool, prepare the butterscotch glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and pour the hot syrup slowly into the bowl of a mixer with the butterscotch chips on low speed until smooth and glossy.
- Once brownies are completely cool, pour the butterscotch glaze evenly over the top.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the brownie layer in half horizontally.
- Stack one half on top of the other to create a double-decker effect.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for a minute.
- Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Once the butterscotch glaze has set slightly, drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the double-decker brownies.
