Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient adds a rich, sugary sweetness to the cheesecake filling. It helps to make the filling smooth and luscious.
Egg: The egg is necessary for binding the filling together and giving it structure. It helps set the cheesecake filling when baked.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla enhances the flavor of both the crust and filling, complementing the butterscotch and cream cheese.
Salt: A small amount of salt in the filling helps balance the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, and lightly spray it with cooking spray. This step ensures that the bars won’t stick to the pan and makes removing them after baking much simpler.
Make the Butterscotch Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium saucepan, add the butterscotch chips and unsalted butter. Heat over medium to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Be patient during this step, as it may take several minutes for the chips to melt completely. Once melted, add the graham cracker crumbs and stir to combine. Remove about 1 heaping cup of the mixture and set it aside in a small bowl. This reserved mixture will be used to top the cheesecake bars later.
Press the Crust Into the Pan: Transfer the remaining butterscotch graham cracker mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press the mixture firmly into an even layer, forming the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to make sure it’s packed tightly
