Looking back, I e-mailed this recipe to my sister a few months ago and all the message said was, "Make these. They are phenom." It couldn't be more true. I've always been a butterscotch lover and these absolutely fulfilled my butterscotch desires. The bars are chewy, salty and sweet and super easy to make. Feel free to use either old fashioned or quick cooking oats--the first time I made them I used old fashioned oats, which made them even chewier (which means better, if memory serves me right).
With layer upon layer of butterscotch in the bars and the glaze, I couldn't help adding some chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sea salt at the end--an element of surprise that brought raves from anyone who tried them. I imagine these also go well a scoop of vanilla ice cream...
Recipe after the jump.
