Butterscotch (or White) Chocolate Fudge Brownies
look at that chocolate chip trying to run for its life! nice try, little one.
the brownie on the picture up here was made with nondairy butterscotch chips, the one below the recipe, with white chocolate chips: both versions knocked my stinky socks off.
(no offense to the gluten free brownies from the previous post, but I truly believe these ones are just the best I’ve ever sunk my teeth into.)
and yes, I am totally milking that sweet potato thing, because I think it makes for slightly healthier brownies, plus…I had a ton of leftovers.
not quite as obnoxious as other brownie recipes out there when it comes to sugar & fat content, they’re still utterly sinful and decadent and should be used with caution. meaning: you should at least share the pan with your SO or a very, very good friend to finish off in one night so that you don’t feel absolutely mortified at your own greed.
please note that it is possible to find nondairy butterscotch chips at Price Chopper, and nondairy white chocolate chips at Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe.
if you don’t want to go through the trouble of getting either, and decide to replace them with more semisweet chocolate chips, it might be wiser to up the sugar a bit since these chips are obviously less sweet than their little butterscotch or white chocolate friends. I’d add 1/4 cup sugar to the amount noted in this recipe.

1 1/2 cups (263 g) mix of nondairy butterscotch (or white chocolate) and semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled

I think pumpkin would be great, Vegan Dad. I’m trying to think of any other change to the recipe that might imply, but I can’t think of anything. you should be good to go.

Alright Celine, you had best close your eyes because I am coming over to raid your fridge, freezer, counter tops, and wherever else these treats are hiding…I might just take your cat too. And probably your stash of quackers. And most definitely the butterscotch chips! I didn’t know vegan ones existed!!!!! I must seek these out…

I haven’t had butterscotch in years, how I wish I could find chips locally! Of course, then I would eat them by the ton and that might not be good either! The brownies look amazing, as always!

I wish I’d find veg butt [ha] chips around here too, I’d gladly ship them to anyone who can’t find them: alas, the only place I hear they can be purchased thus far is at Price Chopper and there’s none of that in California. pity!
Amy: you know the fridge door is wide open for you to come loot it up. :)

Oh my god, these look amazing. I know quite a few people that would kill for these. Can you tell me what brand the butterscotch chips are? I’d love to not have to hunt!
By the way, I love the blog. The pictures are… amazing.

These were delicious Celine! I made them with pureed pumpkin because that was all I had on hand, but they were quite amazing. The only thing I might do differently next time is leave out the sugar (I used 1 cup of butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips) which made the brownies very sweet. They’re definitely best straight from the fridge.
