6. Spread and Top: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips evenly over the top.
7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Prepare Icing: While the bars are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter until smooth.
