How to Make Traditional Scotcheroos Recipe

Have a bowl ready with 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.

In a saucepan over low heat, add 1 cup of corn syrup and 1 cup of granulated sugar.

Mix together until the sugar melts, keeping it on low heat to avoid boiling or simmering.

Stir constantly until the mixture becomes clear and runnier as the sugar melts.

Once the sugar is melted, take it off the heat and add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, mixing until smooth.

Add the peanut butter mixture to the bowl of Rice Krispies and mix quickly until combined.

Prepare a 9x13 pan with parchment paper and spray it to prevent sticking.

Transfer the Rice Krispies mixture to the pan and press it down evenly using a spatula or clean hands.

For the top layer, melt 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1.5 cups of butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring and reducing time to 10-15 seconds as needed.

Once melted, pour the chocolate mixture over the Rice Krispies layer and spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.

Allow the chocolate to set before cutting the bars, lifting the parchment paper for clean cuts.
