Comment on Reverse-Engineering See’s Butterscotch Squares (recipe) by Mary

These turned out really great! I went ahead and cooked them to 234 degrees but that was a mistake, they got really dry & crumbly. Next time I’ll stick to the 15 mins and call it good. After they cooled completely I cut them and dipped them in chocolate; using Wilton’s Candy Melts – a combination of dark & light cocoa.
I used an 8×8 pan but will look for something smaller next time so they aren’t quite so thin. I’d like a thicker layer and then cut them in smaller pieces.
Even dry & crumbly, after they were covered in chocolate no one noticed and they were wonderful!!

OMG – SO SO GOOD. The only chocolate type candies I love is See’s and this recipe is right there. Easy to make and no having to watch a candy soft ball or hard ball stage to deal with. Thanks for this treat

Great try!!!!!I also tried and had success w/ adding English Treacle toffee flavor from import store, and 1/2 to 1 bag of butterscotch chips to warm mixtre before pouring into pan. Stir till all are melted. The candies will not fall apart any moreand it does’t change flavor. I also add at end before it gets too cool a little dark brown sugar to insure the texture to taste.

Hello Jason,
I will have to try this version of it. The one I posted I really didn’t care for.Although they were really good, I got sick after I about 15 mins later, I got sick from all the sugar. My kids loved them at first as well, and they got sick too. It wasn’t pretty. If you want to quit the habit of eating candy, just follow the old recipe. I stayed off sugar and chocolate for three weeks after I had a sugar overload.
I will try this version. Hopefully it won’t be too sweet! LOL

These were great! I made them for my mom because they’re her favorite from See’s. I froze them and dipped them in chocolate afterward which made them even better. My mom says the centers were not as firm as the real deal but the flavor was spot on. Overall, we’re both extremely pleased with this recipe. Thank you so much for providing it (and doing the leg work to get there!)

These taste amazing, thanks! I’ve used your recipe many times, but always have an issue with them crumbling apart when I cut them. Your picture makes me so jealous…neat little squares just ready for dipping! Any tips on what I’m doing wrong?

In many ways, I find the time debt as an investment against an uncertain future instead. (An uncertain future in which I usually count on electricity, which *could* be a mistake. But still.)

[...] this week, I started doing pushups and situps, just a few. This was unstructured, so I bought and began the Power 90 training videos, mainly to get strength training on my non-C25k days. Right? [...]
