Scotcheroos
Scotcheroos are an easy no bake cereal treat! They feature the classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate, plus the addition of butterscotch chips. They are love at first bite! This recipe is adapted from Cheryl Christopherson (I decreased the sugar just a little!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn syrup
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 4 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Combine corn syrup and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, just until the mixture barely begins to boil and the sugar is dissolved. Do not let boil or the bars will be hard.
- Immediately remove mixture from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the crisp rice cereal and stir until well coated. Spread mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch pan.
- Meanwhile, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave using 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth after each heating. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the bars and spread with spatula.
- Let cool until chocolate is set. Cut into bars and enjoy!
