Scotcheroos

This is a bit of nostalgia! Kind of like a Rice Krispie treat, but made with peanut butter and topped with melted butterscotch and chocolate chips! So many good things coming together in one treat!

Equipment

  • 9 x 13 pan
  • Mixing Bowl Large enough to mix 6 cups of rice cereal with peanut butter mixture
  • Medium Sauce Pan
  • Small sauce pan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 ¼ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 ¼ cup Butterscotch Chips

Instructions
 

  • Line 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Combine corn syrup and sugar in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, making sure to get the sides so the sugar doesn't burn. Cook only until the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat and add peanut butter, mix until completely combined.
  • Add peanut butter mixture to Rice Krispies, stir until all are coated.
  • Add mixture into your prepared 9x13 dish. Once all of the mixture is in, you can use a piece of parchment to easily press down, making sure to get it even but not over pressing and making it too compact.
  • In a small sauce pan melt the butterscotch and chocolate chips together over. Once both chips are melted together, spread evenly over the top of the Rice Krispie mixture.
  • Leave to set at room temperature. If your kitchen is especially warm, you can set in the fridge for a few minutes to get it going. However, you don't need to store them in the fridge. Once set, lift parchment out of the pan to cut into squares.
  • Store at in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
