Double-Decker Butterscotch Brownies

This is going to be the last dessert you ever make.....Shalane, this is for you. Actually as I eat them I can't help but think of my dad. When I was little and had to stay up all night for a EEG? the next day I remember going to the store with him and getting butterscotch pudding. Butterscotch will always remind me of that. So here they are:

Brownie

3/4 Cup butter
2 Cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup all-purpose flour

Butterscotch Glaze (recipe below)
Chocolate Ganache (recipe below)

Beat butter, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds or until sugar is incorporated. Turn mixer to medium high and beat until creamy about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stop and scrape bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Pour into 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch jelly-roll pan that has been lined with foil and greased. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Remove from oven and cool in pan 2 minutes. Invert onto cutting board, remove foil, and flip right-side up onto wire rack; cool completely.

While brownies cool, prepare Butterscotch Glaze. Pour glaze onto brownes and spread evenly. Before glaze sets, slice brownie layer in half and stack one half on the other. Cool until glaze sets. Drizzle with Chocolate Ganache. Slice into bars.


Butterscotch Glaze

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1 package (11 ounces) butterscotch flavored baking chips

Bring water, sugar and corn syrup to boil in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over butterscotch chips and stir constantly until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly but use while still warm; mixture sets as it cools.


Chocolate Ganache

1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup chocolate chips

Heat cream in small saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbles appear around edge of pan. Pour over chocolate chips and stir constantly until mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. Use while warm; mixture thickens and sets as cools.

I wish I had a picture to show you...unfortunately they got eaten too fast...by me.....I'm going to vomit...
