Chewy Butterscotch Bars

This is the original recipe from Nestle's and if you like butterscotch, this is for you.  The only suggestion I have is halve the recipe and bake in a 9 x 11 pan... that is, unless you are baking for a crowd.  Also, you may want to use walnuts, which counterbalances the sweetness of the butterscotch better than other nuts

These are great for picnics and to take on the boat when you are out on the lake!.
