Well, Couldn't Let It Waste! I Cooked It!!!!!!

[ Edited ]

@Housecat@AmericanBulldogMom@SouthFlorida321@Andreatoo@MacDUFFI had been eyeing these pecans and butterscotch that had been hanging around me.  (Not I hanging around them!).  

I had talked about a great way to deal with candies and cookies done in a casserole.  So here goes!

 

Butterscotch Pecan Bars

I line the casserole with aluminum foil with an extra 9" on each side which will be handles.

I have lifted the cooled recipe and placed on my cutting board.  The greased aluminum foil just pulls down.  I also do the same method with parchment.

It's easy to cut on a cutting board and easy to lift.  This recipe cracks when it's cut.  (This is a fantastic method with fudge).

Sorry it's a little out of focus!

 

This is what I made.  They were a favorite in my Foods classes.

 

 

Butterscotch Bars

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Line a 9 x 13 inch casserole with aluminum foil which should go past the ends about 8 inches.  The extra will be handles to lift the cooled block of cookies to cut.

Grease or spray pan and aluminum well.

4 Eggs

     1  (16 oz) box light brown sugar

2    Cups Bisquick

2    Cups chopped pecans or walnut

 1     6 oz  pkg. butterscotch morsels

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

 

Beat eggs with hand mixture until frothy.

Gradually beat in sugar until thick.

Stir in vanilla, biscuit mix, chopped nuts, and butterscotch morsels.

 

Spread into greased  9 x 13 in. pan.

 

Bake at 325 for 45 minutes.

 

Cool and cut.  Yield two dozen.
