Ooey, gooey and sweet – these bars, with nuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate, butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk are very messy. But messy doesn’t mean they’re bad (they’re just the opposite).

I will say that these are further along on the sweet continuum when it comes to Baked recipes, which are generally fairly well balanced and not cloyingly sweet. But I think it’s hard to strike that balance with sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate and butterscotch chips. It doesn’t matter in this household, though. Larry and I both have a raging sweet tooth and are happy to inhale these.
