Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large pot, combine your granulated sugar and corn syrup. Place it over medium-high heat and cook until all the sugar is dissolved, stirring continuously.
- Remove the pot from the heat and mix in peanut butter. Gently mix in the cereal. Transfer the mixture to the 9 x 13 pan and gently press into an even layer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch. Microwave for 30-second increments until all the chocolate has melted, stirring in between. Spread the mixture over the Rice Krispies.
- Place them into the refrigerator for only thirty minutes for the chocolate to set up. Cut the scotcheroos into individual squares.
Notes
- If you find the mixture is sticking to your mixing spoon, spray it lightly with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick.
- When spreading the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the Rice Krispies layer, make sure it’s evenly distributed to create a consistent layer of sweetness.
- Don’t skimp on the chilling time. You want to allow the chocolate topping to set properly. This ensures clean and neat cuts when slicing.
