Butterscotch Bars Recipe

January, February and March - by default these should be the slowest months of the year. After all, we came from the mad holiday rush, we all deserve a break. And so I believe in the next few months, everyday should be all be Sundays. 

Sundays where everyone should sleep in late (or if you're a morning person - okay to get up early, too) and just rest, read a book or spend a day in the park or the beach. And while we're all at it, make some butterscotch bars to munch on all day. These butterscotch bars are a perfect companion to perfect Sundays. And as a treat, I'm going to show you how.
