Peanut Butter Scotchers

I found this recipe in mom's collection. I think I've had a very similar bar that had one more layer on top...a layer of melted chocolate chips. Definitely a bar to try this Christmas.

Peanut Butter Scotchers

1/3 c. butter

1 ½ c. sugar

½ c. evaporated milk

2 eggs

1 ½ c. flour

½ tsp. salt

2 tsp baking powder

1 Tb. Grated lemon rind

Melt butter. Add sugar and milk. Blend well. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in dry ingredients and lemon rind. Mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 15x10 inch jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool. Spread topping on. Let stand until set. Cut into bars.

Topping

Melt 1 cup butterscotch chips in double boiler. Remove from heat. Stir in ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter and 2 cups crushed corn flakes.
