National I Want Butterscotch Day is observed worldwide every February 15, celebrating the delicious confection known as butterscotch. This day encourages people to indulge in various butterscotch-flavored treats, such as sweets, cookies, cupcakes, and ice cream. The origins of butterscotch date back to Yorkshire in the first half of the 19th century, where it gained popularity, particularly after Queen Victoria was presented with a tin of S. Parkinson & Sons' butterscotch in 1851. The term "butterscotch" now also refers to the flavor combination of butter and brown sugar, extending beyond the candy itself to items like butterscotch pudding and liqueur. Typical customs include making butterscotch candies or sauce, with specific recipes involving brown sugar, butter, and cream. The celebration highlights the rich history and versatility of this beloved treat.
