Why You’ll Love this Recipe!

I first enjoyed a butterscotch brownie back in 2008 when my neighbor Sheri’s brought them to a gathering. I ate half the plate and immediately requested the recipe. They are now a family favorite. 

They aren’t just delicious, they are so easy to make and only require one saucepan.

This is a recipe is a copy cat recipe for a Nordy Bar. The name comes from Nordstroms and is a yummy treat they use to serve at the Nordstrom Cafe.

Tips & Notes:

1. As you melt the butter, butterscotch chips and brown sugar don’t worry if the butter separates out, just proceed forward and keep stirring. It will eventually come together.
2. Be sure to allow the mixture to cool before adding in the chocolate chips and the marshmallows so they don’t melt.
3. Wait until bars cool to cut. They will be soft and have a gooey texture when you take them out, but set up as they cool.
