DARK BUTTERSCOTCH SQUARES

Dark butterscotch squares because timing is EVERYTHING!!

There comes a time in your life when you really just want to eat a whole pan of butterscotch squares.  When you’re alone and no one is watching, when your sugar meter is on low, or when a major holiday is just days away.

These thick and chewy butterscotch squares are my family’s weakness they just love’em.  They’re simple-easy to make and they’re the perfect dessert option for any occasion.

If you love brownies you’re going to devour these butterscotch squares.  The core ingredient is brown sugar-like really, should I go on? They’re a hybrid of a chunk of rich fudge with a brownie crinkly crust situation going on.

Honestly: the moist smooth buttery dark sugar morsels, the salty flakes, the crunchy pecans- what’s better than this? I’ll wait…

Aren’t you thankful we’re friends?  🙂
