Made these for my other half to take to work & share, & am glad I kept 4 out of the batch I sent off, 'cause they were all gone within several hours! These wonderful tasties are easy enough to prepare & satisfying for any sweet tooth! Did add one thing to all of this, however ~ I also melted (separately) 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips & drizzled that over the melted butterscotch chips, swirling it around a little before letting it all set! Thanks for a very nice keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
