Tips:

  • To make the butterscotch filling, you can use either light or dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will give the filling a richer flavor, while light brown sugar will result in a lighter-colored filling.
  • Be sure to cook the butterscotch filling until it reaches a temperature of 235 degrees Fahrenheit, or until it has thickened and turned a deep amber color. This will ensure that the filling is set and will not be runny.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the butterscotch filling by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the filling forms a firm ball, it is ready.
  • Once the butterscotch filling is cooked, let it cool slightly before pouring it over the crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When cutting the butterscotch bars, use a sharp knife and be sure to wipe the knife clean between cuts. This will help to prevent the bars from sticking together.
  • Butterscotch bars can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their rich, buttery flavor and chewy texture, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give butterscotch bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
