Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and white corn syrup, stirring until well mixed. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Allow it to boil for about 1 minute. |
2 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter until smooth and evenly incorporated. |
3 | Add the crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture, gently folding until the cereal is fully coated. |
4 | Lightly butter a 13″ by 9″ pan, then transfer the mixture into the pan, pressing it down evenly with a spatula to form a smooth layer. |
5 | In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together until smooth and creamy, stirring at 30-second intervals if using the microwave. |
6 | Once melted, pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface. |
7 | Allow the Chocolate Scotcheroos to cool at room temperature until the chocolate has hardened, typically about 1-2 hours. You can also refrigerate them to speed up the process. |
8 | Once cooled and set, cut the Chocolate Scotcheroos into squares or bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy the deliciousness! |
