Butterscotch-Chocolate Bars
Ingredient Set 1:
1 stick unsalted, softened butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
Ingredient Set 2:
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup flaked or shredded coconut
2 tablespoons flour
pinch of salt
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 7"x11" baking dish (or 8"x8" for thicker crust/bars) and dust with flour.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar from Set 1 until smooth. Gradually add flour from Set 1 and mix until crumbly. Press into pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
3. Combine all Set 2 ingredients and mix well. Spread mixture over baked crust and return to oven for 20 minutes.
These are very easy (albeit a little messy) to make, and they taste insanely good. You can also change it up by substituting other items for the chocolate/butterscotch chips as you see fit. Possibilities include white chocolate, peanut butter chips, caramel chips, or even pecans (which were in the original recipe I inherited, but I'm not a fan of nuts in most sweets).
