Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup and granulated sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Heat the mixture until it just begins to boil, then immediately remove it from the heat to avoid overcooking.
Stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or wax paper to flatten the surface.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chips are fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the Scotcheroos cool at room temperature until the topping is set. For faster cooling, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
