Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- ¾ cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, stir together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Mix-Ins:
- Gently fold in butterscotch chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Bake:
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until golden brown and edges pull away slightly from the sides.
- Cool and Slice:
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan. For gooier bars, slightly underbake and refrigerate before slicing with a sharp knife.
Notes
- Slightly underbake for a chewier texture.
- Can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Swap butterscotch chips for chocolate or white chocolate chips if desired.
