Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Bars

I really love butterscotch flavor and it is so decadent combined with chocolate. These little bars might just be my new favorite dessert.

Yes! It is so very easy to make! This can be whipped up in hardly any time at all for an amazing treat. We also have an easy blondie recipe or this 7 Layer Bars Recipe that is amazing. It is so easy and everyone always loves these bars. I often take them to holidays, cook outs and more because everyone loves them so much.

Why We Love these Dessert Bars

I love cake mix cookies because of the simple ingredients. However, sometimes cookies just take too long to make. You only need a few ingredients to make a delicious dessert! If you can mix everything up in a bowl and dump it into a pan, then you can do this.

Another favorite is this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars or these Butterscotch cookies recipe. We have so many easy and delicious dessert recipes you will love.

Ingredients

• Yellow Cake Mix – Feel free to use other types of cake mix

Variation Ideas

• Chopped Nuts – Try adding nuts to the recipe. Pecan or walnut would taste amazing.
• Chocolate Chips – Try other chips such as white chocolate, peanut butter, dark chocolate chips and more.
• Peanut Butter – I think peanut butter morsels and peanut frosting would be yummy.
• Cake Mix – We used a yellow cake mix but you can use chocolate or devil’s food.
• Other Additions – Feel free to add in other ingredients such as quick oats, coconut flakes,

How to Make Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Bars

• Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2 – Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. The batter will be thick but this is normal.

Step 3 – Fold in the butterscotch chips.

Step 4 – Spray the 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan – you will have to press it out.

Step 5 – Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting (or they will fall apart!).

Recipe Tips

• Prepare Pan – I also like to use parchment paper when I bake these butterscotch bars. It helps make clean up easy. This recipe is perfect in a 9×13 baking dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere.
• Cooling Bars – If you don’t have a wire rack, they are so handy to help cool the bars completely if you plan to take them out and then cut them.
• Combining Ingredients – Combine the ingredients in a large bowl until mix together. We recommend not overmixing so this sweet treat remains with a soft texture and chewy.

How to Cut Cookie Bars

We recommend lining the baking pan with parchment paper so you can easily remove the cookie bars from the pan. Allow the cookie bars to cool slightly then place on a cutting board.

Cut the bars with a sharp knife into small or large squares. These dessert bars are rich and delicious and so we like to cut into small squares to easily serve.
