Butterscotch caramel pieces

Butterscotch chunks are small pieces of a traditional candy made from butter, brown sugar, and cream, slowly cooked to achieve a deep and creamy flavor with vanilla undertones and a slightly toasted note. This type of caramel is very popular in Anglo-Saxon baking and is frequently used in the preparation of desserts, ice cream, cookies, cakes, and other sweets that seek a rich, sweet flavor with a buttery touch.

Butterscotch has its origins in the United Kingdom, specifically in Scotland and England, although its popularity has spread to many parts of the world, including Latin America, thanks to its use in numerous international recipes.

Regarding its properties, butterscotch chunks provide a sweet flavor and a texture that can range from crunchy to slightly chewy depending on their preparation and use in the recipe. It is not a nutritious ingredient, as it is primarily composed of sugars and butterfat, so it should be used in moderation in cooking.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, although there is no exact term for "butterscotch," it can be found under descriptive names such as butter caramel pieces, toasted caramel, or simply butter-flavored candies. In some regions, they might also be referred to as buttery caramels or brown sugar caramels, which helps to understand their flavor and texture in traditional recipes.
