No, butterscotch and toffee do not taste the same. Butterscotch is usually made with brown sugar, butter, and sometimes cream and has a milder flavor that is often described as sweet and creamy. Toffee, on the other hand, is made with butter, granulated sugar, corn syrup or molasses and has a robust caramel flavor that can be quite intense. While both flavors are sweet and often associated with dessert items like ice cream toppings, there are distinct differences in the taste of each one. Butterscotch tends to be sweeter than toffee due to its higher sugar content, while the molasses in toffee gives it a slightly bitter note that balances out its sweetness. Additionally, butterscotch typically contains more butter which gives it its characteristic creamy texture, whereas toffee tends to be harder and crunchier due to its lower fat content.
