Best Ever Scotcheroos Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions:

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture just begins to boil. Don’t let it boil too long—this is the key to soft, chewy bars.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter (and vanilla, if using) until smooth and well combined.
  4. Quickly add the rice cereal and mix until evenly coated.
  5. Press the mixture into the prepared pan using a greased spatula or parchment paper to keep it from sticking.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  7. Spread the chocolate-butterscotch topping evenly over the bars.
