Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper or foil, then spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Place the corn syrup and the sugar in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. You don't want to let the mixture boil. If you see a sign of the mixture boiling, remove it immediately from the heat. 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. Stir the peanut butter into the corn syrup mixture and mix until smooth. 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  4. Add the cereal and stir until well coated. Press mixture lightly into the pan. Don’t press tightly or the bars might be too hard. Just make sure the mix is even. 6 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal
  5. In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate mixture is smooth. 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
  6. Add the butter to the chocolate and mix until smooth and even. Spread evenly over cereal mixture. Then lastly, sprinkle with sea salt if you'd like. 1 tablespoon salted butter
  7. Let the chocolate set, then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can also use milk chocolate chips, but the bars will be very sweet.
  • To freeze, wrap the scotcheroo bars individually in plastic wrap, then place in the freezer. Pull them out to thaw as you'd like.
