  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Melting Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled Rice Krispies layer and spread evenly.
  3. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Store Scotcheroos in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For longer freshness, store them in the fridge with layers separated by parchment paper.
