Ingredients
Butterscotch Chips: These are the star of the show. The rich, buttery flavor of butterscotch adds a warm sweetness to both the crust and topping. As they melt, they provide a smooth, glossy texture that binds the crust together.
Unsalted Butter: Butter is the base for the crust, helping to bind the graham cracker crumbs and butterscotch chips into a firm but chewy layer.
Graham Cracker Crumbs: The graham cracker crumbs form the foundation of the crust, offering a slightly crisp, yet tender texture. This crunch contrasts perfectly with the smooth cheesecake layer.
Cream Cheese: The cream cheese filling is the heart of these bars. Its tangy flavor provides a perfect balance to the sweet butterscotch, and its creamy texture forms the smooth, velvety center of the bars.
