Butterscotch Bars

seesko's Note:

Yet another yummy treat from Cooking Light. Each bar is about 150 calories. Tip: If you can't handle eating just one. Cut them up, put in indifidual bags and put in freezer. This works great with most cookie/bars.

Delicious! These don't taste "light" at all. If you're looking for a last minute treat this is also very quick to make. Made for DECEMBER Bevy Tag: Holiday on a Budget.
