Ingredients

  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup*
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips , good quality like ghirardelli or guittard*
  • 12 ounce bags butterscotch chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease a 9x13' inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Rice Krispies Layer: Place cereal in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a low boil and then immediately remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Pour mixture over the cereal and stir to evenly coat. Press firmly into prepared pan.
  3. Chocolate Layer: Add the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on low power for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Spread over rice krispies layer and allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • Corn Syrup: Substitute honey if you'd like to make scotcheroos without corn syrup.
  • Chocolate Chips: High quality chocolate is essential or the chocolate wont melt well. Use Ghiradelli or Guittard, or use callaubut chocolate, or Bakers chocolate bars. 
  • To Make Ahead: Scotcheroos taste best within the first day or two they are made. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • To Freeze: Cover well and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely at room temperature before cutting and serving.
  • Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free crispy rice cereal.
