Microwave Butterscotch Sauce (Lighter)
"I made this up when trying to lighten up a bread pudding recipe. It turned out easy and yummy! It tastes more like caramel but when I read the definition of caramel it's white sugar that is browned and butterscotch is brown sugar cooked with butter. Anyhow...this could be made even more flavorful by adding orange zest, cinnamon or rum extract. Feel free to play with it. If you decide to use regular brown sugar double it because Splenda brown sugar is twice as sweet."
