\"not about this recipe\"---I may be the only person with a negative opinion about butterscotch chips. I have 3 pkgs in the freezer and used 1\/3 of a pkg in a recent recipe. realized I simply don't like the flavor (chemical to me) at all. in this recipe I'd have to substiture those with another chip, I do have cinnamon chips.<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6a546b406aad4dd69f70814662a7a417","MemberId":7749892,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Psalm1273B","SubmittedDate":"07\/28\/2016 12:41"},{"Comment":"

I have made this several times now, and it is always a hit. My coworkers go nuts when Ibring this particular snack in, and there is never even a sliver left over. It also does great at bake sales.

The quick bars make great individually wrapped treats for picnics, lunch boxes or out-the-door snacking. And with all the different layers and flavors, they\u2019re sure to please just about everyone."<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    This recipe was really easy to make. I found that the marshmallows took awhile to brown on top, so I would recommend not completely baking the bottom layer before you put the butterscotch chips and marshmallows on top.
