Bar- Butterscotch Pecan Bars
List of Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons water
3 cups butterscotch chips, divided
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup small pecan pieces
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel sauce
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking
pan.
2. Combine butter, sugar and water in a large saucepan and heat to a boil
over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add 1 1/2 cups of butterscotch chips; stir
until melted. Stir in beaten eggs and vanilla.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, pecans and remaining
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips. Add to saucepan and mix well. Pour batter into
prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted in bars comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares.
Serve with best-quality vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and, if desired,
whipped cream. Makes about 2 dozen.
