Butterscotch brownies are a popular version of brownies that are made using brown sugar in place of cocoa. Although similar to the recipe for blondies, butterscotch brownies always contain butterscotch flavored chips while blondies typically use chocolate chips. The first recipes for confections resembling brownies appeared in American cookbooks at the very end of the 19th century. May 9 is recognized as National Butterscotch Brownie Day.
