Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour the crispy rice cereal. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and mix until evenly coated.

  4. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish using a spatula to create an even layer. Set aside.

  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted. Pour the melted butterscotch over the pressed cereal mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  6. In the same manner as the butterscotch chips, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the butterscotch layer, creating a decorative pattern.

  7. Allow the Scotcharoos to set at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours until completely firm.

  8. Once set, cut the Scotcharoos into squares or bars of your preferred size.

  9. Serve and enjoy these delicious Scotcharoos with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!
