Craving Rice Krispies but also chocolate and peanut butter . . . and butterscotch? Scotheroos are chewy cereal bars with a rich peanut butter flavor and topped with melted chocolate. An easy no bake treat!

Instructions
- Line a 13x9 baking dish parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large pot, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add in sugar and corn syrup. Mix gently and bring to a bubbling boil. Once boiling, remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Fold in rice krispies cereal. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press into the dish gently.
- Allow treats to cool completely, before adding the topping.
- In a microwave safe bowl (or double boiler), melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in 20-second intervals, mixing between intervals until smooth.
- Spread mixture over the bars with a spatula until covered evenly. Allow to set.
Notes
- Storage: You can store these treats in the fridge for up to 7 days or on the counter for up to 5 days. Either way, they should be stored in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold!
- Tools: Make sure you have a large enough pot to hold all the Rice Crispies or you will have quite a mess on your hands.
- Temperature: Keep an eye on the temperature of the sugar mixture—you will need to remove it from the stove very quickly. If you want a softer bar, take it off the heat as soon as it reaches 215-220°F. If you want a chewier bar, you can allow the mixture to cook for 30 more seconds.
- Warm them Up: If you store these bars in the fridge, I like to pop them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds to warm them up a little bit before I eat them. This softens up the bar without causing the chocolate to get too melty.
