Description

Butterscotch chips are small, sweet, and chewy pieces that provide an intense and creamy flavor to culinary preparations. These chips are primarily made from sugar, butter, and milk, which gives them a soft texture and a characteristic smooth, buttery caramel taste.

Their origin lies in American confectionery tradition, where caramel chips are a popular baking ingredient, especially in cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and other desserts. They are now used worldwide to add a sweet touch and a different texture to a wide variety of recipes.

Among their key properties is their ability to hold their shape during baking without melting completely, allowing their individual flavor and texture to be perceived in every bite. Furthermore, they provide a sweet and creamy balance that complements ingredients like chocolate, nuts, and spices.

In different Latin American countries, they may be found under names such as caramel drops, mini caramel pieces, dulce de leche chips, or simply caramel chips. These terms are used interchangeably depending on the region, but they always refer to small pieces that provide a buttery caramel flavor and texture in preparations.
