Sorry no picture today. I was looking for a dessert last night and found these butterscotch bars. The layer of cream cheese caught my eye...everything is better with cream cheese! Justin ate one when they were still a little warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. He said it was amazing. I just had a plain bar and agreed that they were pretty good. I will say they are pretty sweet. I'm taking the rest to small group tonight so we'll see how they go over there. Here's the recipe:
Butterscotch Bars
Ingredients
1 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 package (10 ounces) butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans
FILLING:
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugars until light and
fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, oats and baking soda; gradually add
to the creamed mixture. Stir in chips and pecans. Reserve 2 cups.
Spread remaining dough into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; beat until smooth.
Spread evenly over crust. Crumble reserved dough over filling.
Bake at 375° for 40-42 minutes or until golden brown.
