How people cook with it
Butterscotch discs are primarily enjoyed as a simple sweet. They can also be incorporated into baking for added flavor and texture.
- Enjoyed as a sweet treat
- Added to cookie dough
- Melted into sauces
- Used in candy making
These discs are perfect for a quick sweet indulgence. Simply unwrap and enjoy the smooth, buttery flavor. For baking, they can be added to cookie dough before baking, where they will melt slightly and create pockets of rich butterscotch. They can also be melted down gently to create a flavorful butterscotch sauce, which is excellent drizzled over ice cream or cakes. For more advanced candy making, they can serve as a base for other confections.
