Butterscotch Marshmallow Brownies with Butterscotch Ganache

DSC00897 This couldn't have been easier or yummier! Some of you may cringe when you read this but I used a boxed brownie mix! Yup, it was after nine, the boys had friends over to watch a movie and I knew they were expecting me to bake 'em something yummy. Because I couldn't just make 'em boxed brownies (I've got a rep with these boys as being the Mama whose house you want to eat at)I decided to kick 'em a notch or two or three. I added two hand fulls of butterscotch chips and about three hand fulls of marshmallows to the batter. Remembering I had some butterscotch ganache in the fridge I decided to drizzle some over the cooled brownies.

They were a hit! I had to stop the boys at two! (I needed to save a few for tomorrow's photo session) I managed to control myself and eat only one but I wanted a second!

**Update, I totally forgot to mention, the Butterscotch Ganache was one I made using Bakerella's recipe. I've added the links. Sorry!

Those look really good! Boxed brownie mix does have it's advantages....you can really dress it up if you need to!

How did you stop the boys at two? That would have been VERY hard :-)

Great pictures girl! Our 11 yr old daughter is a brownie eating nut, she'd love these!

Lo said...

If they're anywhere near as good as they look, I'll bet these were absolutely wonderful. I'm not a big marshmallow girl, but they look like they add something here.

I'm not sure how you stopped at ONE!!! What willpower!

Reeni said...

ohh, they look delish! My boyfriend makes fun of me sometimes because of the things I happen to have in the fridge... we were bringing brownies to a family function and the tin foil folded over the top while cooking, so it had a real ugly appearance. I went, "oh, I have some extra chocolate ganache in the fridge, I'll just cover it up!". Don't you love being the type of person who just happens to have ganache in the frig when you need it? :) Central Florida feels more like Central NEW YORK today, doesn't it??... I've been inside since 10am and I've still got my coat on, BR!!!

boxed brownie mix never had it so good! i adore butterscotch, even though the morsels don't necessarily taste like the real thing. i would eat these and eat 'em good. :)

I love butterscotch and who doesn't love a brownie. So this a great combination.

The brownies look so decadent. I like the butterscotch addition. I have an amazing butterscoth bar recipe. Cant make it though because I woule eat the whole thing.

I live in Rochester. You asked me on one of my blog posts. Nearly neighbors since half of Rochester goes to FLorida every year. ha.

AMI said...

Mmmmm! This is a great idea! Thanks!

Lori said...

You asked for it... you got it. The bars are up.

Sandie said...

Yum. I see brownies have been on BOTH our minds as of late---we should get together a little more often! Cheater Bakers Unite! :)

Hayley said...

I'm making brownies as we speak! I wish I had seen these though. Thanks for sharing.

Cristine said...

I totally forgot to respond to your comment. (FORGIVE ME!)

My daughter loves helping in the kitchen and she is always telling me that I'm the best "cooker" in the world. It makes me feel good that she appreciates what I'm doing.

I love that your daughter says she's a "pro-in-training". That is too cute!
