This is a  chocolate brownie with a simple butterscotch custard topping with drizzles of

chocolate sauce.

You could make a dulce de leche sauce  for a variation.(You can find the method to

prepare this sauce if you click on this link BANOFEE WALNUT PIE)

At times  i break up the baked brownies ,mix it with rum or brandy,and press on to make

a thick crust,and then do the topping as in the recipe.A sprinkle of walnuts,or praline

will be too awesome.
