This was my rave dessert at Superbowl last night. The top cracked a little bit, so I whipped up a chocolate ganache and used it to fill in the cracked parts. The only thing I might do different is to use a butterscotch flavor as well as the butterscotch chips to enhance the flavor a little bit. It seemed to de-intensify in flavor after baking. Thanks for posting !
