Butterscotch Chip Recipes FAQ
What can I make with butterscotch chips?
You can use butterscotch chips in almost any recipe that calls for chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. For instance, you could swap in butterscotch chips for semisweet chips in oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chip banana bread.
To turn butterscotch chips into a sauce, whisk a small amount of milk into warm, melted chips until smooth. Pour it over ice cream or frozen yogurt while it’s still warm. Better yet, drizzle the butterscotch sauce on one of our best brownies or mix it into hot cocoa or coffee.
What flavors go well with butterscotch chips?
Despite its strong, distinct flavor, butterscotch pairs well with a variety of ingredients, including pineapple, pears, nuts, chocolate and coconut. Add a handful of butterscotch chips to apple bread or drizzle butterscotch sauce over baked pears. Butterscotch is also delicious alongside warm fall spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, and is a rich complement to coffee or rum.
Do butterscotch chips melt the same as chocolate chips?
Because of the difference in their ingredients, butterscotch and chocolate chips do not melt in exactly the same way. Butterscotch chips contain more sugar and often use stabilizers, like soy lecithin, to help them maintain their shape. While it’s easy to get a silky chocolate sauce by melting chocolate, butterscotch chips take longer to melt and can scorch easily if the heat is too high.
To melt butterscotch chips, place them in the microwave at 50% power for a few seconds at a time. Stir frequently and repeat the process until they have melted. You can also slowly melt them by setting a heatproof bowl over a pot with a few inches of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, taking care not to let any flecks of water get into the chips, which can cause them to seize.
