Hi! I am going to try this recipe..I am curious how it is going to turn out because even if it says butterscotch bars..I noticed that there is no butter required for the ingredients.
Just finished baking this recipe.The result is a totally waste of time and ingredients. Probably the one who wrote this forgot to write other ingredients needed.My search for the best butterscotch bars recipe continues.
