Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pour the Chex cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the corn syrup, peanut butter, and sugar. Stir over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until melted and smooth, but do not let it boil.
  3. Quickly pour the peanut butter mixture into the bowl of Chex and mix to coat the cereal evenly. Scoop the mixture into clusters on your prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
  5. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of each cluster. Allow the chocolate to set before enjoying!

Notes

Store Chex Scotcheroos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be refrigerated, but the texture may change slightly. Consider adding toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
