Traditional butterscotch candy is a type of sweet consisting primarily of brown sugar and butter. Like most modern candies, the mixture normally includes corn syrup. The term butterscotch is also often used more specifically of the flavor of brown sugar and butter together even if the actual confection butterscotch is not involved, such as in butterscotch pudding.
Add butter to a heavy bottom saucepan and melt over medium heat
After butter has melted, add the sweetener and stir constantly
Bring the mixture to a low boil and stir, stir, stir
If the mixture reaches much more than a gradual boil, reduce heat
Stir until mixture is a nice, dark amber, brown color
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt
Let cool for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally
Pour into an 8 x 8 glass storage container (or similar) and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours
The mixture will harden, but be easy enough to break
Break into pieces and savor!
Notes
Let’s begin by defining short-term as three days or less. In this case, if you are planning on having the candy around for three days or less, storage can be done in an air-tight container at room temperature.If space allows, refrigerated storage is preferred as a safeguard. However, either one can be used when keeping the candy for this length of time.
Do keep in mind, the candy will not be as hard as it would be if refrigerated.
