Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, beating well to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to form a dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake it in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, just until it starts to set but is not fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Sprinkle the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the partially baked crust.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, ensuring it covers the chips. If using pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This may take 1-2 hours to ensure they set properly.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares for serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
