An All-Time Favorite!
This is a treat that we have been making FOR YEARS!! In fact, I can’t remember when Scotcheroos weren’t a classic dessert staple in our home. We are all obsessed with this classic scotcheroo recipe because:
The flavor can’t be beat! We’ve always loved Rice Krispies, chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch, so these are definitely a family favorite. Beyond simple. They’re so easy, my kids make them all the time! Quick Party treat. From start to finish, these are made in 20 minutes and because everyone loves them, they’re great for parties, get togethers and holidays.
Ingredients
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal 1 cup sugar 1 cup creamy peanut butter – We prefer creamy but crunch can be used to for a little more texture in your bars. 1 cup light corn syrup 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips – We like using milk chocolate chips but you can use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
How to Make Scotcheroos
The Topping
Just remember that you do need to leave time for them to set up in the end, but you can always speed that up by sticking them in the fridge or freezer for a bit. 😉
For more treats:
What Can I add for Toppings?
Toppings. Add sea salt flakes, festive sprinkles, or crushed candies to the top of the chocolaty layer. Butterscotch swirl. After melting the chocolate/butterscotch chips together, melt a separate bowl of butterscotch chips.
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the treat. Then drizzle the plain butterscotch over the chocolate. Finally, use a toothpick to drag the butterscotch drizzle through the chocolate creating a pretty pattern.
Can I microwave the chips to make the frosting?
Microwave. Instead of using a saucepan on the stove, microwave the butterscotch and milk chocolate chips. Heat them in 30-second intervals and stir in between each interval. Be very careful to not overheat.
Can I make Scotcheroos Gluten-Free?
This recipe can be made with Gluten-Free Rice Krispie. Be sure to check the chocolate chips packages to ensure they do not have gluten.
