Love me some butterscotch bars (as does everyone else who has ever tried them). These are always a big hit at potluck type dinners with friends and family.
Very simple to make and they are so rich, you could probably cut 32 pieces instead of 16 and everyone would be just fine with that, unless of course you have someone with a super sweet tooth. These are seriously rich, even with the fat-free milk and 1/3 less fat cream cheese. I'll give the nutritional analysis for both types as well as for 32 and 16.
Yeah, yeah, I know they aren't organic and there is nothing remotely good for you about these things, but every now and again, we need a little something sweet.
10 ounces butterscotch chips
1/2 cup butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
8 ounces cream cheese - 1/3 less fat
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
14 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 cup pecan halves, crushed
1. Preheat oven to 325.
2. Put the butterscotch chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. When melted, add the graham crackers. Set aside 2/3 cup. Press the graham cracker/butterscotch mix into the bottom of a 13x9x2 baking pan coated with non-stick spray.
3. In seperate bowl, beat the cream cheese till smooth. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla. Beat until mixed well. Add pecans and mix some more.
4. Pour this on top of the crust mixture in the baking pan. After you have smoothed it out, take the reserve 2/3 cup of the crust mixture and sprinkle over the cream cheese mixture.
5. Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean.
6. Store in fridge.

About Me
- Twango
- I'm a chef, YaYa, & a single mom of 2. I hold 3 degrees, all pertaining to the culinary world. Creating things in the kitchen is my passion, whether it be hot food, cold food, desserts, or charcuterie. I love good coffee and could probably be considered a snob in those regards. Coffee is a pleasure and the better the coffee, the better the pleasure. I love history, both ancient and recent. Archaeology, Ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, & the Roman Empire grab my attention with a quickness. I also enjoy reading. While my preferred books are from the culinary field, I also enjoy non-fiction of any kind, especially true crime, but I've also been known to dig into a novel by Rebecca Wells, Stephen King, Jackie Collins, and many others. Reading keeps the mind active in addition to the creative process going. I've found that admiring anothers creativity helps me in my own. Whether you are talking about paintings, drawings, sculptings, photos, or the written word. Constantly learning keeps our minds constantly growing. I am fanatical in regards to nutrition, organic foods, and cannot stand the thought of GMOs.
