Description

A delightful creation from the back of a package of Hershey’s Butterscotch Chips, these Butterscotch-White Chip-Coconut Bars are set to steal the show at your Labor Day party tomorrow! With layers of rich flavors and a satisfying crunch, these bars are a perfect combination of sweet, nutty, and creamy goodness. Let’s dive into the recipe and get baking!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step Description
1 Preheat Oven 🌡️: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the perfect baking environment for your bars.
2 Cream Butter & Sugar 🧈: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of your delicious bars.
3 Add Flour 🍰: Gradually add in the flour, mixing well to combine. The mixture should become crumbly and easy to work with.
4 Prepare Crust 🥧: Press this buttery mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. This creates a lovely, crunchy crust for your bars.
5 Mix Filling 🥥: While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed and evenly distributed.
6 Spread Filling 🥄: Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the filling mixture evenly over the top. The combination of butterscotch, white chocolate, and coconut will start to melt and meld together, creating a luscious layer of flavor.
7 Bake Again 🌟: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown. The center may seem a bit soft, but that’s perfectly fine—it will firm up as it cools.
8 Cool & Serve 🎉: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This is the hardest part—resisting the temptation to cut into these bars too soon! Once cooled, cut into 36 delicious bars and serve. Enjoy the rich, sweet flavors and the satisfying crunch of coconut in every bite. These bars are perfect for sharing with friends and family at your Labor Day celebration or any gathering where good food is appreciated. Enjoy! 🥳
