Butterscotch Brownies

Homemade butterscotch is a staple in the repertoire of most Amish bakers. With ingredients that consist of such baking basics, butterscotch is an an easy and irresistible sweet.  Butterscotch can be used to flavor brownies, cakes, puddings and candies.  My question: who DOESN’T like butterscotch?:)  Just be careful when cooking it on the stove-top to keep stirring so it doesn’t scorch, while nothing tastes better than butterscotch, few things smell worse than scorched ‘scotch. Below is a recipe from the Amish recipe archives for these delicious treats!
