Butterscotch & Chocolate Brownie Bites

13th October, 2012 is going to lock down some bitter sweet memories for a bunch of us in New Jersey. At Rutherford, NJ there's a house that's been home to almost all of my friends on the east coast at some point or the other. A bachelor pad + frat home, one that has always welcomed then girlfriends, now wives of the once-upon-a-time bachelors. A duplex with a huge hall and a carpet that's had much of the wine n biryani from any party!

Ever hospitable hosts (RN & SMK) have made that a second home to all of us. This month, we bid the house farewell and tonight we plan to party... one last time at that venue.

Anyway, just like bitter-sweet memories, I have a batch of semi-smoked, semi-sweet butterscotch-chocolate brownies that I plan to take with me. Recipe follows...


Bowl 1

3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 tbsp Salt
1 Cup brown sugar
1/3 Cup cocoa powder

Bowl 2
1 stick Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup choco chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

2 Eggs.
1 tbs Vanilla Essence

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • Grease mini muffin pans or any cake pan of your choice and set aside
  • Microwave the ingredients in bowl 2 for 30-60 secs on high, stopping inbetween to give it a quick stir. Once melted, allow it to cool and then add the 2 eggs and vanilla essence. Fold in ingredients of Bowl 1 until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin trays to fill halfway. I also added some chopped walnuts on top of the batter once in the muffin tray. Bake for 10-15 mins or until cake tester inserted into the center comes clean.
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Best when served with chilled icecream or hot choc!
PS: I had a fire-alarm tragedy that led to a slightly burnt brownie, but it still tastes yum!
