How to Melt Butterscotch Chips
For a twist on traditional chocolate chip recipes, many substitute butterscotch chips. These have a sweet, caramel-like flavor well suited for baking blondies or adding to cookies. Melting butterscotch chips takes care, because, like chocolate, the chips can burn if mishandled. The best tactics: low and slow indirect heating with the microwave instead of melting over direct heat in a saucepan. Once melted, use the butterscotch chips as a replacement for melted chocolate in any recipe.
