Homemade Butterscotch Sauce
Oh lordy! I went and made a crazy good dessert. Again. Can you forgive me?
I’ve got to be honest with ya. I actually made this tart all in one day. It doesn’t have to take three days to make, but if you are short on time with LIFE and KIDS and a JOB and HOUSECLEANING to keep up with, it can definitely be broken down over the three days.
This tart will be a great addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. If you aren’t a fan of Pumpkin or Fruit pies (like my husband), make this tart. This would be Mr. Quarts go to dessert!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, what are your plans? We are hosting the in-laws here at the house. It’s always nerve-wracking but I try not to let it stress me out. I have a plan. I’ll stick to the plan. If the plan fails, then we just play on the Wii for a few hours and wait for the pizza to show up.
I’m easy like that.
This recipe is part one of a three part series including a Tart Crust and Chocolate Butterscotch Pecan Tart.
