Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk over low heat.
Stir continuously until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, kosher salt, and chopped pecans until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Let the candy cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes, until fully set.
Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
