Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 oz butterscotch chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine butterscotch chips and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the chips are fully melted and smooth.
Add the light corn syrup and brown sugar to the melted mixture. Stir well, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil, cooking for 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the crisp rice cereal to the saucepan, stirring until the cereal is fully coated in the butterscotch mixture.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or clean hands. Be sure to press it firmly but not too hard to avoid crushing the cereal.
Let the Scotch Squares cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or until set.
Cut into 24 squares using a sharp knife, then serve and enjoy!
