My mom loved to cook and bake. This recipe was one she made often, not only for us to eat at home, but she often shared them with friends and family. My mom passed away almost two years ago and I thought maybe it’s time I share some of her recipes. Family favorites. The recipes I share will be simple, just like she was.
These No-Bake Butterscotch Bars are NOT low calorie. They are NOT low fat. They are NOT low sugar. But they ARE delicious! All in moderation, right? Recipe is at the bottom but I will show you how I made them:
Sugar, eggs and butter
Combine 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs beaten, and 3/4 cup butter in saucepan.
No-Bake Butterscotch Bars
Slowly cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, constantly stirring. Let cool.
Crushed graham crackers
While saucepan mixture is cooling, crush graham crackers that equals 2 cups. It takes a little more than one pack of graham crackers. I use a gallon zip-lock bag and then roll them with my rolling pin.
Chopped nuts, marshmallows, coconut and crushed graham crackers
Add 1/2 cup of coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, 2 cups marshmallows, 2 cups graham crackers to saucepan mixture.

Spread mixture in a 13 X 9 cake pan. You won’t need to grease the pan because there is plenty of butter!
Butterscotch chips and peanut butter
Melt 6 oz. butterscotch chips and 2 Tbsp. peanut butter.
No-Bake Butterscotch Bars
Spread melted butterscotch chips and peanut butter on top of bar mixture. Refrigerate. And Enjoy!

These are fabulous bars to share. I wanted to see if I could find this recipe online. I have had this recipe for nearly 40 years. By growing up in a small country Minnesota church I have gathered some wonderful recipes from ladies in my mother’s Ladies Aid group. This is the exact recipe that I have. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Yes, my mother used to make these all the time!
My mother-in-law always made these bars for my husband; I was looking on line for a recipe, as my MIL’s hand-written version (more than 45 years old) was vague as to quantities. Thanks for posting it!
You are welcome! I think I need to make these again!
