To serve at her 11 year old birthday party, my daughter Caroline chose this recipe because she loves butterscotch. The brownies had no taste and were a complete failure. As a result, we chose not to serve them at the party.  Despite the failure of the recipe, Caroline's costumed mystery party was a great successful!  The girls had a great time trying to sleuth out the kidnapper.

I found this recipe inside a folder of recipes kept by my mother in her kitchen at 9 Janes Lane, Lloyd Harbor, New York.
