BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES III

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the walnuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the brownies start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely before frosting.
• To make the frosting, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and milk in a small saucepan over medium- high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cool and beat in the confectioners' sugar. Adjust the milk or confectioners' sugar if necessary to achieve a good spreading consistency. Spread over cooled bars and let set before cutting into squares.

BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES WITH BROWN SUGAR BUTTER ICING

Steps:

• Make the brownies: preheat oven to 350°; line a 13 x 18 inch pan with aluminum foil and grease with butter or cooking spray.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat 1 cup butter and the 3 cups brown sugar on med-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add in the eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla and continue beating for another minute.
• In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture on low speed until incorporated.
• Stir in the pecans.
• Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
• Bake until the bars are set and slightly puffed, 25-30 minutes; cool completely before icing.
• Make the icing: in a saucepan set over medium heat, melt 1 cup butter and 2 cups brown sugar.
• Once the mixture is lightly bubbling, decrease heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 more minutes; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the powdered sugar, half-and-half, and vanilla on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Add the melted butter mixture and beat until combined.
• Pour over the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
• Let the brownies sit for about 30 minutes to allow the icing to firm up before cutting into squares.
• **Left uncut in the pan, the bars will keep at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days.
• Cut them the day you'll serve them; once cut, they can be wrapped and frozen for up to 3 weeks.
