Butterscotch Bites!

I love surprising my children with a special treat after school.

Today's snack were these teeny tiny Butterscotch Bites which I adapted from a recipe I saw on Simple and Delicious.

Kids will love these, and safe to say that grown ups will too.

Butterscotch Bites

BUTTERSCOTCH BITES


6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
2 tubes (8 ounces each) crescent rolls (I like the recipe version)
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


1. In a small bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, then stir in the butterscotch chips.

2. Open up each tube of crescent dough, then cut each tube into 4 rectangles. Spread with butter mixture. Roll up each rectangle jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.

3. Cut each into six 1-in. slices; place cut side down into two greased 8-in. square baking dishes. I just used a cookie sheet, so mine are flatter rather than looking more like little cinnamon rolls.
Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.

4. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: 4 dozen.

all I have to say is "YUM" and just in time too! I'm headed to the commissary tomorrow... needless to say, I'll be picking up the ingredients for these babies while I'm there!

I read your blog this morning and thought what an excellent treat surprise for the girls after school today -- 30 minutes before the bus came, I readied my ingredients and as I opened my baking cupboard - found out that I was out of brown sugar - with everything else ready to go - I substituted apricot preserves and it turned out SO SO SO yummy!! Thank you for a great recipe - and reminders of what fun it is to surprise our kiddos from time to time with homemade goodies!! :)
