A rich, decadent Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Bar is best served with a big glass of milk. 🙂
I have a confession to make. I love sweet stuff. I try to eat healthy, and I DO! Honest!
But after my healthy lunch or dinner of a this with a broiled that, I need something sweet. Crave it. It’s an addiction. And I’m working on it. But until I’m fully cured, I’ll go ahead and share my baking addiction with you… I give you:

Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 bag 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray.
- With an electric mixer, blend the sugar and butter until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat at medium speed until light and smooth. Scrape down sides of the bowl, then add the flour and baking soda. Blend at low speed until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips and finish combining on low. Do not overmix!
- Transfer batter into pan and smooth top to make it even. Place pan in middle of the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean but center is still soft. Cool on rack. When cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into small bars. ENJOY!!
