My sister and I used to eat these brownies all the time in college. Denise (friend, college roommates, and my maid of honor) worked at Bogart’s restaurant in Raleigh and would bring this home for us after a late night at work. It was so good and we were nearly crushed when Bogart’s closed this year. HOWEVER, the recipe surfaced on the internet after its closing and we had to try it for Iron Turkey 2011. YUM!! Just as good as I remember it. Hope you enjoy it too!!
Ingredients
- 1 pound (4 sticks) butter
- 1 1/2 lbs. brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 5 cups flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups butterscotch chips, divided
Captain Morgan's Caramel Sauce
- 2 C sugar
- 1 C water
- 1 oz. corn syrup
- 2 oz. heavy cream
- 2 oz. butter
- 3 oz. spiced rum
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Get out a 9x13 baking dish--no greasing necessary.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt to combine well. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating to combine well. Stir in 2 cups butterscotch chips.
5. Spread batter into greased pan and top with 1/2 cup butterscotch chips.
6. Bake nearly 1 hour until a tester inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean. Let cool before cutting into 3-inch squares.
Captain Morgan's Caramel Sauce
1. Place sugar, water and corn syrup in medium saucepot and bring to a boil. Allow to turn a dark amber. If crystals appear on sides of saucepot, brush sides with clean pastry brush and cold water.
2. Combine cream, butter and rum. Whisk into sugar mixture. Serve warm over the top of the brownies.
Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- Recipe makes 12 HUGE brownies. It is not good for you at all, but it is better served with ice cream. The restaurant served it with coffee ice cream, but I don’t like coffee flavor so we did caramel vanilla ice cream.
- Next time I will try to bake this in a large bar pan, I liked the brownies thinner than they came out using a 9x13.
