Notes from the book: life is full of enough difficult decisions, picking a dessert flavor shouldn't be one of them. Who says you have to choose between vanilla or strawberry, almond or pistachio, or harder yet, chocolate or butterscotch? You can have both. These bars have a thick, and a cakey butterscotch top shot through with butterscotch chips for added punch.. At the bakery this is a limited edition bar, meaning we make it only once in a while. When we do, customers have been known to rush across town in taxi cabs to stock up before we sell out.
