| Yield: | 36 (2 1/8-by-1 1/2-inch) bars |
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter, such as Jif
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugar, then the graham cracker crumbs, and stir well to blend. Press the mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Melt the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips in separate bowls in the microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the mixtures are melted and smooth, about 2 1/2 minutes total. Pour the melted chocolate over the crust and spread evenly. Dollop the melted butterscotch evenly over the chocolate and drag a butter knife or skewer through it to make a marbled effect. Refrigerate until the topping has set, 20 minutes. Slice into bars and store at room temperature.

Tasted ok, but I couldn’t remove most of it from the dish. It’s an inedible mess.
My second try with this recipe was better. To keep the butterscotch from seizing up l used 1/3rd of the chips and microwaved it for approximately 20-30 seconds and poured it on the chocolate chips; repeated this until bag was empty. It worked perfectly. I also tweaked a few other things.
Toll House butterscotch chips would not melt ….. just hard gook. Just like the other comments.
I melted in 1 tablespoon of butter into the butterscotch chips as a last resort ….. it worked ! It got creamy and smooth.
It is something wrong with the Toll House butterscotch chips ….. they are probably cutting corners and made cheaply.
These bars are delicious …. but use another brand butterscotch chips or add the butter to the chips before microwaving.

I am an experienced cook so my review isn’t done by someone who never cooked before. The recipe looked really good, the taste is good, however, the butterscotch chips seize up in only 30 sec and had to be thinned out with a spoon of yogurt. Then the set time was good, however, they set up so HARD that they broke apart when trying to cut. Very disappointing.

Everything was going great until I tried to melt the butterscotch it just wouldn’t melt here in East Texas I don’t know if it’s because of East Texas it would have been beautiful if it would have worked I sure’s a lot of work to end up looking like crap Love you Martina but it just didn’t go smooth after the butterscotch
Made a batch for a work birthday and they disappeared in no time! They were delicious! I too might try them with peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch just to see how they turn out. With the butterscotch chips they tasted similar to Scotharoos.
These were good, next time will try with PB chips and milk chocolate chips!
did the exact recipe and just added some sea salt on top of the melted chocolate/butterscotch spread !! OMG !!!!! DELISH. bringing it to a Christmas party tonight. definatley 5 stars !!!! try it : )
I made this exactly to the recipe. It is awesome and easy. My whole family loved it including children and grandchildren. I will be making it many times.
Mine turned out very grainy from the processed Graham crackers. It was like sugar that wasn’t melted, not pleasant.
