Make the Butterscotch Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Heat until smooth and fully melted. Safety tip: Keep an eye on the chips in the microwave to avoid burning.
Combine the Flavors: Once melted, stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Shape the Log: Line a flat surface with a sheet of parchment paper. Pour the butterscotch mixture onto the parchment paper. Use the paper to help you shape it into a 12-inch long log, about 2 inches in diameter.
Coat with Pecans: Lightly brush the outside of the log with the beaten egg white. This will act as a glue to hold the pecan halves in place. Gently press the pecan halves onto the log, covering the entire surface in a beautiful and festive layer.
Chill and Slice: Wrap the log snugly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is firm. Once chilled, unwrap the log and slice it into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy!
