Chewy and sweet, these Butterscotch Revel Bars are a wonderful dessert to make for your next potluck, bake sale or party. They are also a great treat to bake and freeze for school lunches!
I interrupt this zucchini bread festival to bring you a delicious cookie bar. I mean, really, we can’t live only on zucchini. There’s got to be butterscotch in our lives too!
A few years back I made these Triple Chip Revel Bars. I forgot how amazing they were. As I was sharing them on pinterest, it occurred to me, I should totally give them a butterscotch makeover.
Using that recipe as a base, I swapped out the fudgy chocolate center and instead gave it a sweet butterscotch filling.
Want to know the secret to make these taste even more amazing? PUT THEM IN THE REFRIGERATOR after baking. Seriously. I love all my butterscotch treats cold. There is something about chilling it that brings out the flavor.
How to Make Butterscotch Revel Bars
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until well blended. Add in baking soda, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Add flour and oats and mix until blended. Set aside.
STEP 3: In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and 2 Tbsp butter. Heat over low heat until butter is melted. Fold in butterscotch morsels and stir constantly until morsels are melted and smooth.
STEP 4: Press 2/3 of cookie dough into bottom of baking sheet. Keep pressing with your fingertips, it will fit, honest!! Pour butterscotch mixture over top of cookie dough and spread evenly. Drop remaining dough by teaspoon over the top (will not cover completely, that’s okay).
STEP 5: Bake for 25-28 minutes until browned. Cool completely. Cut and enjoy. Store in airtight container (best when chilled)!
Can you freeze Revel Bars?
Yes! Absolutely.
Once cooked and cooled, store butterscotch bars in a ziploc with parchment paper between layers. Freeze up to 3 months.
Thaw at room temperature overnight. ENJOY.

Butterscotch Revel Bars the the perfect dessert. Thick and chewy butterscotch cookie bars packed with oats and brown sugar!
After letting the bars cool completely they ended up being extremely runny. I followed the recipe to a T. They still taste delicious!
The bars ran over in the oven, the smoke alarm went off for first time in 30 years of baking! I should have known that a pan only 1inch deep would not work
No eggs in directions for butterscotch revel bars .. Please add them or someone will be very disappointed .
Not sure what you mean?? It’s listed in step 2 🙂
I was making these Butterscotch revel bars when I discovered that no where in the recipe did it say to add the eggs . Luckily I am an accomplished baker and realized they weren’t in the directions at all .Please have someone add them to the directions or you will have someone very disgusted with this recipe . Thanks I will let you know how mine turn out.
It’s listed in step two 🙂
I was wondering about the butter. The 10 T and 2 T doesn’t add up to a cup. These look delicious.
Oh my gosh, good catch. I just fixed it!! It’s supposed to say 14 Tbsp, and 2 Tbsp
Hi Aimee! These sound wonderful, and I’m looking forward to trying them. I’m assuming you mean to beat 14 T of the butter with the brown sugar, etc. and then use the remaining 2 T of butter melted with the sweetened condensed milk and butterscotch morsels. My question is about pan size — I love a thicker bar. Could you use a 13″x 9″ pan and increase the baking time? Would the oven temp need to be adjusted? Don’t know if you’ve tried a variation like this, but I look forward to your reply. I LOVE the recipes you share. They’re always delicious. Thank you.
Accckkk. Just fixed it. Yes it’s 14Tbsp/2Tbsp!! Thanks for catching that. As far as a thicker bar, I have not tried it. My fear would be that it wouldn’t cook properly because it’s already a gooey center from the butterscotch (and that it would bubble over). These are so yummy, you won’t miss the thickness 😉 PS>>>thanks for the sweet words! 🙂
What size cookie sheet?
It’s a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet!
The recipe calls for 1 cup butter, the directions only use 12 T. Doesn’t 1 cup have 16 T…..just wondering before I start baking.
Yes! I’m sorry, it’s 14Tbsp and 2 Tbsp.
Yum! Looks sweet and delicious!
These are amazing. I keep picturing that butterscotch center! It’s so brilliant!
And thanks so much for the love on my cookie bars!
You’re quite welcome 🙂
