Butterscotch Dessert Recipes

“I’ve made these bars for several years. We’ve always called them Butterscotch Brownies, but a lot of people call them Chew Bread or Chewy Bars. The glaze I am including is optional, but I wouldn’t dare escape the lovely taste of brown sugar and butter…YUM YUM!” – Bryson

“The first cake my daughter ever baked … a family favorite and too easy since you start with a mix!” – Teri

“When I was young, my mother owned a restaurant and this was one of the delicious pies that we served.” – Karen

“These are a favorite of my 5-year-old son. They make several dozen, and they normally don’t last for more than a day and a half, maybe two. (If I wasn’t watching, they wouldn’t last two hours.) He is my toughest critic, so I’m hoping you like them as much as he does.” – Melynda

“My family began making these bar cookies in the 1960s. They soon became a family favorite. Cooking the butter and brown sugar until bubbly gives them a special butterscotch flavor. Wrap these individually and freeze if one batch is more than you can use in a week.” – Ruth Ann

“Grandma liked to cook and she used to love looking through cookbooks for different recipes. This is a pie that she said she made a lot when my dad was younger and is a favorite. Like grandma wrote on the bottom of the recipe card for this pie, ‘Make sure you enjoy.'” – Melissa

“These are a really easy and delicious breakfast or dessert. I like to switch it up and put chocolate chips in some and butterscotch chips in others. If you like mint then you can add the Andes chips and make them that way too. The possibilities are endless!” – Leah

“A quick and easy homemade butterscotch sauce that’s perfect for ice cream, cakes, etc!” – Kevin

“Cookie crust, marshmallow center, nutty butterscotch top. Bars similar to these were at my local bakery for a pretty penny. Here is a recipe to try and see if you like them! Make a batch and if you have any left, they freeze well.” – Catherine

“Universal Islands Adventure, we had our first sip of Butterbeer. Butterbeer is from the series of ‘Harry Potter’ books. Butterbeer resembles butterscotch and vanilla cream soda. Ever since my eldest had one sip, she has become obsessed with this stuff. on my quest to serve Gracie some of the best Butterbeer desserts, I wanted to taste the creamy, vanilla flavor behind the initial taste of butterscotch. My vanilla cake is filled with a creamy butterscotch filling, frosted with luscious vanilla buttercream, beautifully drenched with butterscotch sauce, and homemade vanilla cream.” – juliana

“I LOVE pumpkin and always have canned pumpkin in my pantry. I love easy, instant yumminess and this pie fit’s the bill perfectly!” – Amanda

“These are my most requested cookie. I usually make at least 500 of these at Christmas. It’s a very simple recipe but packed with lots of flavor!” – denise

“An unusual layered dessert that always gets rave reviews.” – Randi

“MMMMMmmmmmmmmm! That is my only comment.” – Monica

“I remember my mom making this cake when I was a little girl back in the 50’s. There’s very little sugar in the batter and the cranberries make it very, very tart. By itself you probably wouldn’t care for it. But…. what gives this cake its deliciousness is the WARM butterscotch topping you ladle over the top. Don’t skimp though, because the cake absorbs all that yummy, sticky sauce and the more you eat the more you’ll want!” – Deb

“These cookies were inspired by the Butterbeer drink in the Harry Potter books and movies. I added the french vanilla drizzle on top to represent the foam at the top of the drink. I think these would also be good using a butter pecan cake mix ~ but due to allergies we have in our home, I opted for the butter cake mix. Take note that the flavor in the icing drizzle is from liquid coffee creamer. You can change the flavor according to what creamer you use. The sky is the limit!” – Mrs. D.

“I am using this sauce in both my Butterscotch Pumpkin Oatmeal and Butterscotch Pumpkin Monkey Bread from Scratch Recipe. But you can use it in anything you like! Even atop ice cream. I was thinking of adding a cup to my Banana Chocolate Chunk Bread batter.” – Tiffany

“A warm, cozy dessert for special occasions! I came up with this recipe for a family, Holiday get-together. I was looking to marry the tropical ingredients that abound here in South Florida with a dessert that brings to mind the festive, Holiday season. To take this bread pudding over the top, I caramelize the bananas then spoon them over the warm bread pudding. A salted butterscotch sauce gives it just the perfect sweet and salty flavor combination.” – Naylet

“This is a melt in yer mouth cake. This recipe is a no brainer, it was given to my mom from a very good friend years ago. It still works, I made it for work this past year and it went over great. Had people wanting me to make one for them to take home. JoSele’s Blue Ribbon Butterscotch Rum Cake” – JoSele

“This sauce is so good on ice cream, rice pudding, but I love it best on my bread & butter pudding.” – Nancy

“I took these to a family reunion this summer, and one of my cousins’ sons is a police officer. He told me that these should be kept in the car at all times because they would get me out of a ticket any time!!” – Nancy
