All About Butterscotch

Butterscotch is a flavor that has been enjoyed by people for centuries. The first recorded mention of this flavor was in the 1700s. Butterscotch is a mix of sugar, butter, and cream, and it is often used in desserts, cookies and sauces. 

Butterscotch is a flavor that is often confused with caramel. The main difference between these flavors is that butterscotch contains butter, while caramel does not. Butterscotch also has a stronger flavor than caramel. Caramel is often used as a topping on ice cream, cheesecake, pies or other desserts, while butterscotch is more commonly used in baking and in sauces.
