Butterscotch Brownies

Hey Y'all!
Well I am certainly glad to have finally received some much needed cooler weather around here. After the sultry hot summer we've had this year, any coolness would be much appreciated. This month's recipe just sounds like autumn's goodness; pecans, butter, brown sugar, need I say more? When the weather really starts to have chill in it, pull out these ingredients and whip up a batch of these delicious and different brownies. The only thing that could make 'em any better would be to top them with a big scoop of vanilla or butter pecan ice cream. So, what are you waiting for? Preheat your ovens and start baking!!

Hope you enjoy them!
