Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, pour the peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal. Gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down lightly to ensure an even thickness, but do not compact it too tightly.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 7
Pour the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer in the baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Allow the Scotcheroos to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for a faster set.
Step 9
Once the topping is firm, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
