Double-Decker Butterscotch Brownies

There is this beautiful photo of these double-decker butterscotch brownies on the cover of my Kitchenaid recipe book. I just had to make them right away. So I did. I've made them a few times since then, they're a truly decadent treat I love to give out as a pick me up when I'm feeling particularly baker-y.

So, here's a digital record of the recipe:

I started out with these fine ingredients:

I used vanilla too, but forgot to include it in the photo.

I started with the butter, sugar and vanilla in my mixer bowl:

See the happy smilie face?

I creamed them together for a bit:


Then I beat in the eggs and it looked so creamy:



After I added the cocoa and flour, I spread the brownie batter onto a foil-lined pan.


While the brownie was cooking, I mixed the butterscotch glaze. Enjoy these action shots:



As soon as the brownie had cooled some, I spread the glaze onto it:


Then before the glaze was totally set, I cut the whole thing in half and stacked it on itself:


Then while the double stack was cooling, I prepared the chocolate ganache:


I poured on the ganache from a ziploc bag with one snipped corner in a zig-zag pattern.




MmMmMmmmmm looks sooo tasty!!
