Recipe: Roselyn's Zebra squares (Chocolate Brownies with Butterscotch Fudge Icing)

I have the cook book. Below is the recipe. Hope it's not confusing. I guess Zebra brownies are Chocolate brownies with butterscotch fudge icing. I used to live in Indy and frequented Roselyn's but never tried the zebra brownies. My favorite was the iced cookies. In fact I found your post as I was looking for advice on making the cookies. I wish the Roselyn bakeries had never closed.:( Anyway enjoy your brownies.
