Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 36 (2-inch square) bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pea-sized pieces, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (11-ounce) bag butterscotch chips
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drape a 9 by 13-inch pan with overlapping pieces of aluminum foil, creating handles for easy removal. Butter the paper, and reserve.
  • In a food processor add the flour, oats and brown sugar and pulse to combine. Add the 2 sticks of butter, the cinnamon and the butterscotch chips. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture forms clumps when pressed between your fingers. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer, reserve the other half. Bake in the preheated oven just until slightly golden and set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon zest and juice and vanilla in an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle, or with an electric hand mixer until no lumps of cream cheese remain. Spread evenly over the baked and cooled oatmeal mixture. Sprinkle the remaining half of the oatmeal mixture over the cream cheese. Bake until the top is golden, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool and chill before cutting. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and using the foil handles, transfer the bars to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife and serve.
  • Call yourself a superstar!!!
  • Cook's Note: For a delicious and healthy variation of this recipe, try replacing the butterscotch chips with tasty dried cranberries.

BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM CHEESE BARS



BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM CHEESE BARS image

Really good!

Provided by Sandy Munn

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 2/3 c butterscotch flavored morsels
6 Tbsp butter or margarine
2 c graham cracker crumbs
2 c walnuts (chopped) (can replace with pecans)
2 pkg cream cheese (softened)
1/2 c sugar
4 large eggs
`1/4 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Microwave morsels and butter in medium, uncovered, microwaveable bowl. On medium-high power for 1 minute; stir. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15 seconds intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in crumbs and nuts. Reserve 2 cups crumb mixture; press remaining mixture into ungreased 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Beat cream cheese and sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in flour and lemon juice. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars or diamonds; refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use a quality cream cheese. A good cream cheese will be smooth and creamy, with no lumps or graininess.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar and cream cheese smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can cause the bars to be tough.
  • Bake the bars until the center is just set. Overbaking can cause the bars to be dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch cream cheese bars are a classic dessert with a rich, creamy filling and a buttery crust. They're perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to holiday parties. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious bars at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give butterscotch cream cheese bars a try!
