These bars are made with melted butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. I like walnuts in butterscotch bars, but pecans would work as well, or leave the nuts out altogether. They’re great lunchbox treats!
Feel free to make them with your favorite add-ins. Replace the semisweet chips with milk chocolate or white chocolate chips, or use brickle or toffee chips.
