Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies

I started baking again lately... Last September 24 is my last day at my short course in Medical Administration. The whole day I am just thinking about sweets..brownies and wanted to buy one after class. But when I went to Coles to buy something to satisfy my cravings I end up buying the ingredients. I told my self that it would be better if I just make it on my own and try something different.

I saw at Joelen's blog a brownies recipe but with a twist.. Yeah! Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies. I gave it a try..it looks yummy though! Besides..aprobado ni Chef :)

Butterscotch

Hmmm.. I love butterscotch. I remember the first time I saw the recipe and tried it for the first time.. Galing.. I feel like professional na rin ako. Mama used to baked brownies so I can sell it sa school and I thought of adding another product sa binibenta ko. I was browsing her recipe book and thought making it. Naalala ko nakatikim na ako ng butterscotch noon and I fell in love with it but I don't know how to make it. The first butterscotch was really yummy but I want something chewy so we add and minus some ingredients.

My bengkong friends really love this. I used to give them for free every time nagbabake ako nito but they become abusive :). They want it everyday so I shared my recipe to mama so she can bake while I was studying nursing. My butterscotch and mama's brownies became a hit it EAC. People are calling me brownies instead of Iya because of my benta.

I am going to share my most precious recipe so my friends can also make them even though we are miles apart. I know how much you miss it and I will always be thankful for your patronage..
