Peanut Butter Scotch Bars

Pin It Now!
Peanut Butter Scotch Bars

These bars are fairly basic. sweet, salty, and no bake. This is one of those bars that is simple and really doesn't need anything extra to make it great. Enough said.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 
1 cup creamy peanut butter 
6 tablespoons butter, melted 
2 cups crushed pretzels 
1 package butterscotch chips
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup coarsely crushed pretzels 
1/2 cup chopped peanuts -optional


Directions


1. Line a 13x9x2-inch pan with foil or parchment. In a large mixing bowl, stir together powdered sugar, peanut butter, and melted butter. Stir in crushed pretzels. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of prepared pan. 

2. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine butterscotch pieces and whipping cream. Stir over low heat until pieces are melted. 

3. Pour butterscotch mixture over crumb mixture in pan. optional: sprinkle peanuts and more crushed pretzels on top of the butterscotch layer.

4. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars to serve. 


Enjoy!
