Butterscotch is an acquired taste. Not everyone likes it, but when it is paired with fudge it takes the flavor to a whole different level. Another good thing about these brownies is that they are easy to make and no butter is required. Due to the use of vegetable oil in substitution of the butter, the insides are moist and the outside is just right. For those of my readers who are vegetarian, this recipe is for you.
Whenever I am craving something chocolate I usually end up making brownies. Sometimes they are plain and other times I add in extra bits of complimentary flavors for something different. I'd rather it be brownies than a candy bar from the store.
