    Trisha Yearwood's Butterscotch Peanut Butter Bars

    If you love the flavor of butterscotch you will definitely love these butterscotch bars recipe from Trisha Yearwood!

    On Saturday and Sunday mornings you can catch me watching cooking shows on Food Network. It’s fun to test and try out new recipes from different Food Network chefs. I’ll also share the recipe on this blog with you guys if I think it’s worthy! Like this recipe for Butterscotch Peanut Butter Bars from Trisha Yearwood. 

    Trisha has been one of my favorites to follow for a while now and I’m still watching her. I absolutely love these butterscotch peanut butter bars of hers. They make me think of Harry Potter and ButterBeer. 

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Butterscotch chips   - Butterscotch is a type of confectionery made from butter and brown sugar.  If you don’t like the taste of butterscotch try white chocolate chips or Reese’s peanut butter baking chips. 

    Butter   -  softened at room temperature 

    Granulated sugar and brown sugar   - for sweetness  

    Creamy Peanut Butter  - Use real peanut butter that is made with just ground peanuts and salt. 

    Egg   -  1 large egg, at room temp 

    Vanilla - Real vanilla extract, no imitation crap 😉 

    Flour, salt, oatmeal for dry ingredients 

     How to make Butterscotch Peanut Butter Bars 

    To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with butter.
    2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and ½ cup of the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the baking soda and the salt. Mix the oatmeal into the flour and stir the flour into the creamed mixture. Spread the batter in the baking pan. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the batter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned around the edges.
    3. Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and the remaining ¼ cup of the peanut butter until smooth, then spread the glaze evenly over the warm bars. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

      Yeah self-rising flour would work. Just leave out the baking soda.

      You can wrap the bars up individually in saran wrap or parchment paper and freeze them.
