These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The butterscotch filling is rich and creamy, while the shortbread crust provides a nice balance.

I've tried many butterscotch bar recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The addition of brown sugar and vanilla extract really takes it to the next level.
