A lip-smacking layer of tinted frosting is the crowning touch to these butterscotch bars laden with crunchy pecans.

These bars were really good. Not by themselves, but with the frosty made them really good.

These are so delish! I haven't made them myself, but I found the recipe for a coworker and she has made them twice now--superb! The texture and flavors combine to make a very satisfying dessert--you won't even miss the chocolate! FYI, she doubles the recipe and uses her own recipe for the icing.

This recipe was very good. I used skor toffee bits instead of English toffee bits. It worked well. The cookies were moist and din't last long.

I actually didn't make this yet - I'm wondering how you can get 3 1/2 dozen bars out of a 9 in square pan. It there a misprint in the amount or the pan size?

This was a very good recipe. Not overly sweet but lots of texture and flavor.
