How to Make Rich Butterscotch Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat together 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg on low speed until just combined.
- Press the batter evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together 10 oz marshmallows, 1 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/2 cup butterscotch frosting, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
- Stir in 3 cups butterscotch crisp cereal (like Rice Krispies).
- Spread the butterscotch mixture evenly over the cooled cake layer.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Gently press the topping down.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the squares to set before cutting and serving.
