These are a very rich, bar type cookie. Easy to prepare, a favorite with young and old alike. Great for picnics, potlucks, holiday cookie trays or any get together. Warning!! They can become "addictive"

Came across this recipe years ago in an old cookbook my sister-in-law gave me. Lost the recipe but delighted to come across it now. These are sinfully rich and so good I could eat the pan of squares in one sitting. Dangerous recipe.

    Bar cookie heaven. Sheer bliss. I've made these twice just because I hogged the first batch and left my husband and daughter with crumbs. Definitely lean toward a 20 minute cooking time. 25 minutes left mine a bit too brown and crusty on top. Also, melting the butter, butterscotch chips and brown sugar in the microwave somehow changed the texture so I had a darker mixture and big gaps in my final product. Weird. This is easy, and I will make it way too often for my own good. Thanks, I think!

    Dee, these are so sinful! I made them for the Pick a Chef thread. My husband and I pigged out on them! We couldn't even wait for them to cool completely, which was ok, they're nice and gooey that way. Very easy to make, quick to cook, there isn't anything bad about these. Except not being able to stop eating them! Thanks!

    Holy cow, Dee514, these are fabulous. A tasty treat that's like a cross between a cookie and brownie. I decided to leave out the chocolate chips because it seemd like they'd be rich enough without them (they were). I was about 1 oz short on butterscotch chips, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips to make up the difference. My 8" square pan was in use, so I baked these in a 9" springform pan and got 12 wedges. The only bummer about this recipe? They're already half gone. Yum.
