Servings: 24 -30 bars
Calories: 266kcal
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Butter a 9x13-inch pan or line it with a parchment paper sling. Set aside.
In a large sauce pan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring just until the sugar dissolves and the peanut butter melts. Don't let the mixture come to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the Rice Krispies and gently stir to coat the cereal in the peanut butter mixture.
Pour into the prepared pan, gently pressing into an even layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Heat in the microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring between each interval until the chips are melted and smooth, about 60-80 seconds. This can also be done in a double boiler
Pour over the Rice Krispie and spread into a thin layer to cover the top of the bars. Cool until set, then cut into squares.
- Freezing and Storage: Scotcheroos will stay good in an airtight container on the counter for up to about a week. Or they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before serving.
