Bro's Brownies

I’ve made these brownies a few times and brought them to BBQ’s or given them to friends.  They are always a big hit!  I was trying to come up with something to bring to my little bro’s B-Day dinner tonight and I wanted to make sure it would be something that he liked.  That can be a little tricky at times, it does get easier as he gets older but you can never go wrong with a brownie. 

The recipe comes together quickly and easily.  You can also switch up some of the ingredients and get a different flavour every time.  I’ve made these with chocolate chips instead of the butterscotch chips for a double chocolate chip brownie or add peanut butter chips for a chocolate peanut butter brownie.  As I was going through my baking cupboard I noticed some Skor bits, which would also be a great addition to the recipe.  You could add about ½ cup with the marshmallows.

Since there was cake for the party today not everyone had a brownie, but my dad and brother were happy to have the leftovers.  The hubby was disappointed when I told him I didn’t keep any at home for us, so I promised to make another batch.  Keep reading the next post to see what I came up with for him.
