Scotcharoos Delight

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup of light corn syrup
  • 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 bag of butterscotch chips (about 6 oz)
  • 1/2 bag of milk chocolate chips (about 6 oz)

Instructions:

  1. Pan Preparation: Start by lightly greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside for later use.
  2. Combine Sweeteners: Over low heat in a medium saucepan, mix together the light corn syrup, peanut butter, and sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture is evenly blended, smooth, and just starts to bubble slightly. Remove from heat.
  3. Incorporate Rice Krispies: Gently fold the Rice Krispies into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated for a uniform texture.
  4. Form the Base: Transfer the coated Rice Krispies into your prepared baking dish. Press down firmly with a spatula or a piece of wax paper to create a smooth, even layer.
  5. Melt Butterscotch Chips: Place the butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt them in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until fully smooth and creamy.
  6. Apply Butterscotch Layer: Evenly spread the melted butterscotch over the Rice Krispies base, ensuring complete coverage for a rich flavor in every bite.
  7. Melt Chocolate Chips: Repeat the melting process with the milk chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl, ensuring they’re fully melted and smooth.
  8. Add Chocolate Topping: Drizzle or spread the melted milk chocolate over the butterscotch layer to add a final touch of chocolatey goodness.
  9. Cool and Set: Allow the Scotcharoos to cool at room temperature until they’re set. For quicker setting, you can place them in the refrigerator.
  10. Serve: Once set, cut the Scotcharoos into squares and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy cereal, creamy butterscotch, and chocolate in each delicious bite.

These Scotcharoos offer a perfect blend of textures and flavors, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion. Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack or serving them at a gathering, they’re sure to be a hit!
