Butterscotch Bars

I love butterscotch.  It reminds me of my grandmother who always had a sprite or a ginger ale and a hard butterscotch candy.  I wasn't as in love with butterscotch as a kid, but now I can't get enough .
When I saw this recipe, on, wait for it, Pinterest, I had to have it.  I am going to attempt to slap some HTML code in below and take you right to the pin.  Ok, here goes nothing....

Holy Cow!  It worked!
This recipe came from another blog Yummyluv and is called Back in the Doghouse Butterscotch Bars.

So, today after he whined on the floor about having nothing to do, I took my little man into in the kitchen and made some of these.  Below is my attempt to be Pioneer Woman and document my cooking process.

First I gathered my ingredients.  I planned on making a double batch of these in a 9x13 pan.  When I went to my drawer of chips, I discovered one bag of butterscotch chips---empty.  Suspiciously, I asked my son, have you and your sister been sneaking butterscotch chips?  With a very big smile, he answered back, in the spirit of true brotherly love, "IT WAS HER IDEA!"   But what do you do when the Butterscotch Bandit looks like this???

I hug him every chance I get, that is what I do.

So, back to the recipe.  Here are my ingredients........

This is my new flour box.  It holds 10 pounds of flour.  It is made by Snapware.  The lid, as the brand implies, snaps right on.  The handle makes it easy to carry the flour back and forth to the pantry.  It came as part of a set of 3 at Costco.  Good deal!  

Now, here we go with the recipe.  I promise.  No more interruptions.  

2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x9 pan with cooking spray.  I used a 9x7 because somehow I don't have a 9x9 anymore.   We did this.
Then we mixed the eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar.  After that, we added the dry ingredients.  And after that, we added 1 cup of the butterscotch chips.  The Butterscotch Bandit is a great helper.  He, like his sister, thinks he has to climb onto the counter to accomplish a task.  Whatever works little man.

Next, we put it in the pan and put it in the oven for 35 minutes.  Tick-tock-tick-tock.  Just enough time to play a game of Qwirkle.

When you take them out, put on the remaining half cup of chips. Or, you can be like me and dump the rest of the bag on top or else, the little people will eat them right out of the bag.  

Sweet mercy!  I just had one.  Gooey, Butterscotchy, Goodness.   The Bandit agrees, it is a keeper!

I am still a rookie at this blog business, so I have to figure out a way to put in a fancy printable recipe.  I am not there yet.
Here is the whole recipe......and one more big thanks to yummy luv!
