Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a baking sheet with butter Crisco.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter flavor Crisco and add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and quick oats.
- Gradually add the warm caramel mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing well.
- Stir in almond brickle chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the almond brickle chips with dark chocolate chips. Ensure your butter flavor Crisco is fully melted before adding it to the sugars to achieve a smoother consistency. If you prefer a chewy texture, slightly underbake the drizzles, allowing them to firm up as they cool. For a fun variation, try mixing in some chopped nuts.
Serving Suggestions
These Butter Flavored Brickle Drizzles are delightful on their own but can also be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. For a festive touch, consider serving them with slices of Cherry Nut Chiffon Pie at your next gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the drizzles in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To enjoy them again, simply thaw at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular butter instead of butter flavor Crisco?
Yes, you can use regular butter, but the texture and flavor may vary. Butter will provide a richer taste but may not yield the same buttery flavor profile. If you choose to use butter, ensure it's softened for easier mixing.
Can I make these drizzles gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that your oats are certified gluten-free, as cross-contamination can occur during processing. This way, you can enjoy a gluten-free version without sacrificing flavor.
How do I know when the drizzles are done baking?
The drizzles are done when they are golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary in temperature.
