How to Make Chewy Butterscotch Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 16 ounces (2 cups) Publix (or other brand) butterscotch morsels and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the melted butterscotch mixture into a large bowl.
  4. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  5. Incorporate 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan or a 15x10 inch stoneware pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 13x9 inch pan or 20-25 minutes in a 15x10 inch pan, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  9. Cut into bars and enjoy! Optional: Add a layer of melted white chocolate morsels for an extra decadent treat.
