By: Virginia Nicky 
"A neighbor gave the recipe for these rich chewy treats to my mother when I was still in grade school, and I've been preparing them each Christmas for over 30 years. The pinwheel effect makes them extra special to share."

Original Recipe Yield 60 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons butter (no substitutes), divided
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; line with waxed paper and spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of butter; stir until smooth. Stir in milk, flour and vanilla; mix well. Spread into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 8 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up brownie in the towel, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cool completely on a wire rack. Melt butterscotch chips and remaining butter. Unroll brownie; spread filling to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with walnuts. Reroll; wrap in foil. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Unwrap and dust with confectioners' sugar. With a sharp thin knife, cut into 1/4-in. slice.
