💡 Cook's Notes

**Don't overcook!** If you bake to the "caramel" stage, the bars will be too hard to enjoy. For an interesting crisp top, sprinkle Demerara sugar on top before baking. This recipe has many variations in proportions - some use more or less coconut, some omit the butterscotch chips entirely. Adjust to your taste. The simpler "vague" version: melt butter in the pan, then just layer all ingredients and bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes.
