Scotch-A-Roos

I REALLY needed a treat last night, and these little bites of yummy-ness came to my rescue…

Have you made “Scotch-A-Roos” before? They are delicious, easy and fast to make, and it is very hard to eat just one. Here’s the recipe…

Bottom Layer:

1 cup sugar

1 cup light Karo syrup

1 cup creamy peanut butter

6 cups rice krispies

Topping:

¾ cup chocolate chips (I like to use the Ghirardelli 60% cocoa semi-sweet chocolate chips, they give you a nice added punch of chocolate taste)

¾ cup butterscotch chips

The How-To:

1. Combine sugar and Karo syrup in a heavy pan and heat (on medium high heat), stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

2. Remove pan from heat. Add in peanut butter and mix until combined.

3. Add rice krispies and mix well. Pour mixture into an 8 x 8 inch pan and press down firmly with greased fingers.

4. Over very low heat, melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together. Spread over rice krispie mixture and allow chocolate to set back up before cutting.

5. Eat and enjoy!
