Tips
- If you don't like butterscotch, you can omit the butterscotch chips and double up on the chocolate chips.
- Do not boil the sugar and corn syrup mixture for too long, as it will make the bars hard instead of chewy.
- Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips on low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning.
