Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 ¼ cups light corn syrup
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups peanut butter (see note)
- 8 cups crisp rice cereal (like rice krispies)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semisweet)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan with butter or cooking spray or line with foil/parchment and grease the foil/parchment. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan or pot, add the butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Cook on low heat until the butter is melted. Bring to a simmer and immediately remove from the heat.
- Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until well-combined.
- Add the cereal and stir gently (so the cereal doesn't get crushed) until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Press the mixture lightly into the prepared pan. Don't compress too much or the scotcheroos will be too firm.
- Add the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to a microwave-safe bowl and cook for 1-minute increments at 50% power until melted. Stir until well-combined.
- Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly across the bars. Let the chocolate cool and set before cutting into bars and serving.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: I always make these with creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy). Feel free to experiment with chunky peanut butter or with a natural-type peanut butter or nut butter alternative.
- Pan Size: if you want the scotcheroo rice krispie base a bit thinner, you can use a larger pan. You can also play around with the rice krispie amount - adding more or less - for a gooier/less gooey version, depending on how you like them.
