Butterscotch
Butterscotch is a sweet confectionery flavour and sauce commonly used in desserts, candies and baking, known for its rich caramelized butter-and-brown-sugar taste. Nutritionally it is energy-dense and high in added sugars, providing about 70g of sugar per 100g, so it’s typically used in small amounts as a treat or finishing sauce rather than a staple ingredient. From a health perspective, it offers little fiber or protein and should be enjoyed occasionally; if you want a similar sweet, caramel-like note with fewer refined sugars, consider swapping to options like date or maple syrup or a reduced-sugar caramel.
