Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup butterscotch baking chips
- 3/4 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with packed brown sugar until glossy and smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the mixture until just combined.
- Fold in butterscotch chips and toffee bits evenly into the batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are golden and the center is just set.

Notes
- Chill bars before slicing for cleaner edges.
- Use high-quality vanilla for enhanced flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a soft texture.
- Bars freeze well for up to 2 months when wrapped tightly.
