Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until crumbs are moist.
- Spread mixture into a greased 8 x 8-inch glass pan.
- Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, try using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. If you want a nuttier texture, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the mixture. Ensure the graham crackers are crushed finely to help bind the mixture together. You can also substitute the Borden Eagle Brand milk with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Serving Suggestions
These Fudge Scotch Squares are perfect for parties or as a sweet treat after dinner. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For a fun twist, try serving them with a slice of Butterfinger Pie for a dessert table.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Fudge Scotch Squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. If you prefer them a little warm, simply reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different flavored chips?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different flavored chips such as peanut butter or white chocolate for a unique twist on the recipe. Just make sure the total amount of chips remains the same so the texture stays consistent.
What can I substitute for graham crackers?
If you don't have graham crackers, crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers work well as substitutes. They provide a similar texture and sweetness, allowing the recipe to maintain its delicious flavor.
How do I know when the squares are done baking?
The Fudge Scotch Squares are done when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top appears slightly set. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
