Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars

"The first time I made this I ate the whole pan. The second time I made this I ate the whole pan. The third time I made this I told my friends to keep me away from the darn pan and they ate the whole thing. Now we are all really fat and I need 3 new baking pans... =)"

  1. This was one of my favorites from a long time ago. I made this the other night and ate quite a few and they were delicious! My husband ate quite a few as well. I woke up the next morning and found one of the sticks of butter left on my counter! Needless to say, they are great with only one stick of butter! I also used brown sugar and more cinnamon (because I like cinnamon). I cooked it on the lower setting for a few minutes longers. I also think if one would want, you could use half the amount of butterscotch chips and come out with still an abundance of butterscotch flavor. No matter what, they are delicious.
     
  2. I made these for a bakesale and these are on my top 5 list for BEST DESSERT EVER. The people who gave these a negative review are either nuts or made it wrong. I follwed the recipe exactly except I used quick oats for the oatmeal. Thanks for this recipe, I will use it for many years to come.
     
  3. These turned out very very good. I used regular oats - not quick or instant, and they were not dry and did not crumble. They were moist and delicious!!!
     
  4. These are sooooo good. I cut the recipie in half and the dough was so stiff I thought for sure there should have been some kind of liquid added that I missed. They came out great and I know I'll be making them again and again. Thanks for posting the recipe!
     
  5. I was disappointed in these. I made per the recipe, but they were pretty crumbly and not really all that flavorful. I used brown sugar, and half a bag of butterscotch. Just kind of blah. It was the texture that really threw me though.

  1. These are great. I made them with chocolate chips instead of butterscotch, and they were just what I was craving. I also used quick cooking oats and they worked fine, and I halved the recipe and baked in an 8x8 pan. Love the taste and the texture - Thanks!
