Butterscotch Shell Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 11 oz. bag of butterscotch chips
  • 5 Tbsp refined coconut oil

Use refined coconut oil in this recipe, so the butterscotch flavor shines through. Unrefined coconut oil has a strong coconut flavor, that will overshadow the butterscotch.

Combine Butterscotch Chips and Coconut Oil

What You Do:

Melt Butterscotch Chips and Coconut Oil

Melt the butterscotch chips and coconut oil in a double broiler, stirring frequently. Butterscotch chips contain stabilizers that make them resistant to melting, so you may have little bits that try to hold their shape. Don’t worry about it. They’ll smooth out as the mixture cools.

Pour your finished butterscotch shell topping into a jar, and allow it to cool before using.

Store at room temperature. If the shell hardens between uses, just microwave it for 20 seconds; give it a good stir it; then, repeat the process, until it returns to a pourable consistency.
