If necessary, microwave at additional 10 second intervals, stirring just until melted. Stir 1 1/2 cups batter into melted morsels. Pour into crust. Repeat procedure with semi-sweet morsels. Carefully spoon over butterscotch layer. Melt whit chocolate morsels in small bowl as stated above. Pour melted morsels into remaining batter; stir.

Let stand 1 hour.
