Butterscotch Ice-Cream :

Butterscotch, usually hard candy made by boiling brown sugar and butter or corn syrup together.

Although the terms butterscotch and caramel are sometimes used interchangeably, butterscotch is generally distinguished by the absence of milk or milk substitutes from its recipe. Know More
