Ingredients:
1/2 c. margarine, melted (I used organic butter and melted it in the microwave in a glass bowl)
2 c. light brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten (after melting butter and pouring into mixing bowl, I reused the bowl to whip up the eggs with a fork)
1-1/2 c. flour (I used a mix of white flour and white whole wheat flour, about 50/50 mix)
2 t. baking powder (make sure you use baking POWDER, not SODA or you will have a yucky mess)
1 t. salt
chopped nuts (Mom and I usually omit the nuts because when growing up my brother Michael was not a fan of nuts)
1 bag butterscotch chips

Directions:
Beat margarine and sugar together; blend in beaten eggs. Sift flour, baking powder and salt and beat into the first mixture. (We don't have a sifter so we mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl using a fork. Mix in butterscotch chips by hand.) Spread in greased 13 X 9 X 2 pan; (I thought the dough looked too thin in a 13 X 9 pan, so I used a 9 X 9 glass pan.) sprinkle with nuts over the top and bake at 350 degrees about 30 min.; cut in squares or strips while warm. DO NOT OVERBAKE

My mother also calls these Butterscotch Brownies. Whatever name they go by they are delicious!
