Ingredients
-
2 cups (400g) packed brown sugar
-
¾ cup (177ml) heavy whipping cream
-
6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup (113g) powdered sugar
-
16 ounces chocolate melts
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, cream, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
-
Let the mixture boil for 5 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool for 10 minutes.
-
Beat in powdered sugar until fully smooth and creamy.
-
Pour into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan and chill in the refrigerator until firm.
-
Melt chocolate melts using a double boiler or microwave.
-
Cut the butterscotch into squares and dip each into the melted chocolate. Place on wax paper to set.
-
Let the chocolate fully harden, then serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
-
Use a candy thermometer for precision if you’re particular about texture.
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on the chocolate before it sets.
-
These freeze well for up to 2 months—just thaw before enjoying.
