Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping)

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips, melted


Instructions

  • Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, combine crushed vanilla wafers with melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  • Press the mixture evenly into the pan to form a crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  • In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

  • Fold in the whipped topping gently until fluffy and well combined.

  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.

  • Drizzle or swirl the melted butterscotch chips on top. Use a toothpick or knife for decorative swirls if desired.

  • Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until fully set.

  • Slice into bars and serve chilled.


Notes

  • For a chocolatey twist, swap butterscotch chips with melted chocolate chips.

  • These bars can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge overnight.

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
