Good recipe. I added butterscotch morsels, which made it even better. -
I have made this recipe several times. It is easy to make and the bars get plenty of compliments! -
These tasted good, and were gooey and brownie-like as advertised. However, they didn't taste like butterscotch, which was disappointing. They tasted more like brown sugar bars. I might make these again though... thanks MaeEast! -
Wonderful and easy...how much better could it get? I modified them a bit using gluten-free flour and they still were delicious. Thanks for a keeper! -
These were a big hit at a NYE party. One guest even asked if they could take the leftovers home (um....NO!....but you can have a few, lol) Several people asked for the recipe. I'd say that makes them a winner! The only change I made was to add a bag of white chocolate chips. I also added the optional nuts (walnuts).
