Billion Dollar Bar's

How's everyone holding up out there? Ready for Spring? Me too.  I never thought I'd say that since I'm a cold weather kind of girl but I really am ready.  We've been getting really cold weather and no snow to show for it, so it seems like we could really just skip the cold part now.

But I digress.

I recently made these bars for a girls night that I went to at a neighbors house. There are multiple steps to making them but the finished product was amazing.  I love the little butterscotch hint in the chocolate layers.  They remind me of a dessert my gramma used to make but these are smooth and dreamy.

After you make each layer you have to refrigerate for about 30 minutes in order to prepare for the next layer.  The layers themselves aren't complicated to make, you just have to allow enough time to get it finished before you plan to serve them.

This bar is basically just one big candy bar.  One big delicious candy bar. I would compare it mostly to a milky way however the flavors are different.  The texture is sort of the same though. You have some added peanut butter and butterscotch flavors which set it apart from anything else that you can buy.  I loved it.

I hope you can make this soon, if you do, let me know what you think of it.
