Here’s a classic Scotcheroos 🍫🥜 recipe—a chewy, sweet, and crunchy no-bake bar loaded with peanut butter, chocolate, and Rice Krispies:
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup butterscotch chips (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter.
- Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and slightly bubbling.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix with Cereal
- Immediately pour the peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies.
- Stir quickly until all cereal is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan evenly.
- Top with Chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between).
- Pour over the pressed cereal mixture and spread evenly.
- Chill
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until set.
- Serve
- Cut into squares or bars and enjoy!
✅ Tips:
- Use a spatula lightly greased with butter to press the cereal mixture evenly.
- For extra crunch, you can add chopped peanuts or peanut butter chips.
- Keep refrigerated for best texture, especially in warm climates.
I can also share a microwave quick version that takes less than 15 minutes if you want. Do you want me to share that?
