Butterscotch bars are a delightful treat that bring a touch of nostalgia to any gathering. These bars have a crispy, golden texture that makes them a favorite in our household. Originating from the classic butterscotch candy, these bars are perfect for those who love a sweet, buttery flavor. They're easy to make and are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
These butterscotch bars are perfect on their own, but if you're looking to make a full dessert spread, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. A warm cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk also pairs beautifully with these sweet treats.
Crispy Butterscotch Bars
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the butterscotch chips.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Variations & Tips
For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
If you have chocolate lovers in the family, try mixing in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips along with the butterscotch chips.
For those who prefer a less sweet version, reduce the brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups and add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice flavor.
