Sweet and buttery, melt-in-your-mouth filling sits in a cookie-like shortbread pastry for an epic dessert that is one small slice of sweet nostalgia!
We recommend preparing the pastry crust ahead of time so that it is completely cooled when it’s time to pour in the butterscotch filling.
Brown sugar (did you know that brown sugar is what makes butterscotch different from caramel, which uses white sugar?)
Prepare the butterscotch filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the butter, brown sugar and salt, letting the mixture come to a boil.
