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.

I'm an opera singer and concert production manager. When I finaly win the lottery/retire I hope to open a B&B for musicians. When I am not standing in line to purchase more losing lotto tickets, I while away my time cooking for all of my starving musician friends, sharing a drink or two or twelve with them, and suffering from masochistic tendencies at the gym. I.e. balancing out my love of good food and drinks.
