An easy snack cake recipe made with a cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, butterscotch
morsels and crunchy pecans (or any nuts) that's the perfect easy dessert!

⇊ JUMP TO RECIPE
This easy dessert satisfies so many of my snack cravings! It's sweet
(obviously) but we finish it with a sprinkling of salt that really brings out
the pecans and balances all the sweet ingredients!
It's glorious while it's warm but I especially love it the next day when the
butterscotch chips have firmed up because then we get amazing contrasts in
texture with the soft cake-bar base and the crunchiness from both the pecans
and the butterscotch morsels!
Be warned, though... if you're a butterscotch fiend like me, you will not be
able to stay out of these!
AND I MIGHT BE LOSING IT...
My whole life, butterscotch has given me the warm-and-fuzzies. I have an
entire set of memories about butterscotch milkshakes that I must have dreamed up because, according to Mama, they never
happened. Leave it to me to have an entire fantasy life around food.
I would have bet a month's pay that this was real. I can remember going with
Mama to get her hair done every month then going to Fat Boy's afterwards to
get butterscotch milkshakes.
Any West Columbia people remember when J.B. White's had that hair salon in
Woodberry Plaza??
Anyway, I was talking about it one day and Mama said it never happened because
she doesn't like butterscotch (so she would never have ordered me a
butterscotch anything) and we never stopped for milkshakes. Ever.
Ummm... what?? I can vividly remember sitting in that green '78
Silverado with the saddle blanket seat cover, sucking down butterscotch
milkshakes. Like VIVIDLY remember. Me and Barbara Mandrell would sing our hearts out the whole way home while I sucked the air out the
bottom of my styrofoam cup.
But... evidently I made it up so, hey maybe I should write that book because I
clearly have an active imagination! 
Well, aside from my make-believe memories of butterscotch milkshakes, those
classic Magic Cookie Bars (sometimes called Hello Dollies and 7-Layer Bars)
were some of my absolute favorites too! I can remember sneaking into the
kitchen to snag a square.
Some modern recipes replace the butterscotch morsels with peanut butter but,
I'm here to tell you, the two do not compare. That butterscotch just hits
different and my LORD, it's good stuff!
Wait a minute, though... if Mama didn't like butterscotch then why did
she always make the Magic Cookie Bars??? Hmmmm... I can't be
hallucinating about both of those things. Probably.
CHANGE IT UP
This recipe can be used with all sorts of flavor combinations! Here are some
of the variations I have made and a few I think sound good!

Lemon - Lemon cake and pudding, white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts


Chocolate  - Chocolate cake and pudding, chocolate chips,
walnuts


Pistachio - White cake, pistachio pudding, white chocolate chips,
pistachios


Peanut Butter - Yellow cake, vanilla pudding, peanut butter morsels,
peanuts

Chocolate Peanut Butter- Chocolate cake and pudding, peanut butter morsels & chocolate chips


German Chocolate - Chocolate cake and pudding, butterscotch chips,
pecans & coconut

Make it however you like! Just have about 2 cups chips/morsels and 1 cup
nuts/coconut
FAQ ON BUTTERSCOTCH CRUNCH CAKE BARS

What brand and size cake mix to use?  The brand doesn't matter BUT you need to make sure you have a
15.25-oz box (some brands are only about 13 oz).


Can I use sugar-free pudding mix?  Absolutely! 


Why don't you use butterscotch pudding?  I have - and I like it! - but I like it better with the yellow cake
mix.


Can I use other flavors?  YES! See the section above.


How long do these stay fresh?  I've never had any last
longer than 3-4 days but I would guess these will stay lovely well beyond that
so long as they are store in an air-tight container.


Can these be frozen?  Yes, ma'am! These freeze very well
up to 6 months and only need to be thawed to eat.
Are they called butterscotch morsels or chips?  Heck if I know. These two words seem to be used interchangeably in the baking world.
