- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely for approximately 20 minutes. (The mixture should be lukewarm, not hot, before proceeding)

- Gradually add the cooled butterscotch mixture to the butter, beating on medium speed until well combined.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Gradually add 4-5 cups (500-600g) powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar, if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
