Butterscotch Neimans

I have recently become a big fan of butterscotch.  Anything with melty butterscotch chips is good in my book.

Naturally, when I came across a butterscotch-y recipe on one of my favorite blogs Mix and Match Mama, I couldn't wait for an occasion to try them!

That occasion was Tall Dark and Nerdy coming home from a weekend backpacking trip.  Not much of an occasion, but enough to warrant fresh-baked sweet treats!

Man, these did not disappoint!  Plus, TDN and I made a wonderful discovery:  his favorite parts of cakes, bars, etc. are the crunchy corners...mine are the middle pieces.  Perfect match! :)

Ingredients:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 bag butterscotch chips (2 cups)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 13"x9" pan and set aside.
For crust, combine cake mix, 2 eggs, and butter in medium-sized bowl.  Spread in bottom of pan.
Melt 1 cup of chips in microwave, stopping and stirring every 30 seconds.
Combine powdered sugar, remaining 2 eggs, cream cheese, and melted butterscotch chips with electric mixer until smooth.  Stir in remaining butterscotch chips.
Bake 35-40 minutes.  Edges should be a little brown.
Cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate.
