Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup butterscotch caramel topping (from 17-oz jar)

1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the bars lighter and more tender.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense bars.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for a fun twist.
  • Serve the bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly decadent dessert.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch bars are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like them simple or loaded with add-ins, these bars are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying dessert, give butterscotch bars a try.
