Chewy Butterscotch Bars

August 11, 2010 by Julie 34 Comments

Tonight I am headed out to my friend Cherayne’s apartment to enjoy dinner with some of my girlfriends. Cherayne is making black bean burgers (yum!) and we’re all bringing a little somethin’ somethin’ to enjoy as well.

With my sweet tooth, it should come as no surprise that I’m bringing a dessert… that is if there’s any left by the time I head out of the house!

When I arrived home from work, I whipped up a batch of chewy butterscotch bars and they turned out oh-so-moist, sweet and tasty!

Of course, I just had to share the recipe with you guys!

Enjoy! 😀

    Those look delicious! Love the flax seed idea instead of the eggs! Does it change the taste? Have fun!

    drooooool. Now this is something that would disappear before it made it past the batter stage, if I were making them. 😉

    those look UNREAL! Have you ever subbed unsweetened applesauce for half the butter? I know it’s not going to make a world of difference on those caloric bombshells (which i’m sure are amazing) but since i want to run home to whip up a batch (and then scarf the entire thing) I was just wondering if you had any healthy substitutions…

      you could try… but since butter is such a big part of this recipe, it might not work. worth a shot though!

    Julie-
    When I saw these I HAD to make them. The kiddos and I made them tonight and WOW they are amazing!! I’m ashamed to say me, a 5 year old and a 3 year old polished off one and a half rows. I’ll let you guess who ate the most 🙂

    Thanks for the great recipe!
