Amaretto Butterscotch Sauce

Submitted by Lennie

"This is a delicious twist on a standard butterscotch sauce. I tried this once with hazelnuts and Frangelico instead of almonds and amaretto, and it was also very good."

YUM! Served it last night to guests and everyone loved it. I doubled the recipe and have lots left over so next time I'll just make it as is. I did leave the nuts out, just because a few people in my family wouldn't eat it then, but I imagine it would have made it that much better with some crunch. Thanks for leading me to this one Lennie, it was a winner and a keeper!
