Butterscotch brownie mix in a jar with a tag attached that gives preparation instructions. These are fantastic presents to give at any time of the year, as well as for hostess gifts, baby showers, wedding favors, or to bring to a cookie exchange and be sure you bake some up so people can sample them. To prevent condensation and clumping, store in a cool, dry area apart from a heat source. Enjoy!

Reviews
It does not fit in the jar. After reading some other recipes, I decided to eliminate the white sugar. They are plenty sweet and that gives the space to fit it all in!
Great recipe. Really yummy. However, the ingredients did not fit it the quart jar.
The recipe was great (enjoyed it myself and received many compliments) but it was unfortunate to find the a 1 quart mason jar (1 quart = 4 cups!) were not going to cut it for a gift I was throwing together on the day of. The recipe contains over 5 cups of content…I did try to pack the ingredients down but do not think I could have made any more room for the remaining 1/2+ cup of flour mixture I had left. Anyone fit these ingredients into a 1 quart?
Butterscotch is brown sugar and butter, and these brownies have it. They do not taste like artificial butterscotch chips, but they have a cleaner taste, so the former reviewers wondering why they don’t include the chips may not realize these are true butterscotch. Sweet, a bit gooey, chewy from the coconut (and if you snag the corner piece!), they are delightful. If you like nuts, chopped pecans would be a nice addition. I’d be happy using this mix as a gift. My daughter loved the brownies, and I like that they are not chocolate–although nothing’s wrong with chocolate, we just like it way too much in our house! Thanks for a great recipe! *Be sure to use a big jar, this calls for 5 cups of ingredients!
It must have been the pan I used – an 8×8 glass, but these just would not cook through. I sort of remember hearing not to use a square glass pan for brownies. Too bad, they smelled good but the sides were burnt and then one inch in the whole thing was gooy.
“Butterscotch” refers to brown sugar. Butterscotch pies, sauces and candies all contain brown sugar instead of white, so this dish is named appropriately (though I find it hard to imagine that butterscotch chips would hurt the recipe!)
My mom made these a lot when we were little, I have always loved them – even more than chocolate sometimes :). The “butterscotch” name comes from the flavor that you get when the sugar carmelizes. IMHO, it ruins them to add butterscotch chips or even nuts.
maybe it is obvious to others,but the recipe does not include the butterscotch. I am assuming you add butterscotch morsels. I looked at this recipe because I love butterscotch.
coconut nice
Great recipe!! Everyone loved this one, I used this as teacher gifts for the beginning of the year… Thanks so much!
Makes a wonderful gift. I made several jars for my family. SMC
Tried out the recipe before giving out as gifts…the family loved it!
Where does the name Butterscotch Brownies come from. Are there suppose to be Butterscotch chips included in the recipe?
Nice flavor, not overly sweet.
These are wonderful! I have enjoyed giving them as well as making them.
