Ingredients

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 6 cups crisp rice cereal
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally and heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbling.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Add the crisp rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture, stirring gently until the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture evenly into the pan. Set aside.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chips are melted and smooth. This should take 1 to 2 minutes total.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Allow the Scotcheroos to cool at room temperature until the topping is set, about 1 hour. For quicker setting, you may refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

Once cool and set, cut into 24 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
