Salted Caramel Butterscotch Bars

Caramel and butterscotch are two favorite flavors in my household! I started baking a lot with butterscotch when Sammy was two, because for the longest time he didn't like chocolate! Thank goodness he's gotten over that food aversion. :) Dustin is a big fan of caramel and butterscotch, so these bars are a hit in our house. Add in a little flaky sea salt, some oatmeal for texture, and I'm ready to lick the pan. :) A yellow cake mix is the base of this bar recipe, and I make them in an 8x8 pan. This makes the bars super dense and really easy to pull together quickly! If your bars look to be brown around the edges but still pretty "gooey" near the middle, just pop the bars under the broiler for a minute or two. Don't let them get too overdone! I hope you and  your family try this recipe and enjoy them as much as we did.  

Salted Caramel Butterscotch Bars 

Serves: 12    Preparation Time: 10 minutes    Baking Time: 25 minutes 

Ingredients: 

1 Yellow Cake Mix (any brand works fine, even store brand!)

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

2 Eggs

1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats

1 Cup Butterscotch Chips 

1 Cup Caramel Bits

1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk 

Flaky Sea Salt 

Directions: 
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease an 8x8 pan (I use Pam)
  2. In a bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 eggs. 
  3. Mix in 1 cup of Old Fashioned Oats, and spread 2/3 of the mixture into your pan. 
  4. In another bowl, mix together the butterscotch chips, caramel bits, and spread evenly over the cake mix base. 
  5. Pour your can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of your chips. 
  6. Take the remaining cake mix base, and crumble over the top. 
  7. Shake a little flaky sea salt over the top. Be careful not to overdo it - a little is all you need!
  8. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top comes out clean. Let cool for about 30 minutes before slicing. 

This is how the bars will look prior to baking. See all of that gooey goodness underneath? 


Note: This is extra delicious with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. :)

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week ...

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...
