This is what I grew up with in lieu of 'scotcheroos'. They are simpler to make and pack a much richer flavor which means when I bite into similar recipes (hoping for this flavor), I am disappointed and want my homemade version!

Time 30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon butter
6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
1 (11 ounce) package butterscotch chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 (11 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Grease bottom and the lower 1 inch of the sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Pour cereal into the prepared dish.
  • Mix butterscotch chips and peanut butter together in a bowl and melt in a microwave oven, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; pour over cereal and stir until cereal is coated. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to compact mixture into the dish.
  • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Spread over the top of the bars with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate bars again until the chocolate is firmed, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • The key to achieving the perfect texture for these cereal bites is to be patient and cook the mixture until it reaches the right consistency. It should be thick and gooey, but not too hard or dry.
  • If you find that the mixture is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or water to thin it out. If it's too thin, you can cook it for a few minutes longer until it thickens up.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture, or it will become hard and chewy. Once it reaches the right consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before stirring in the cereal.
  • You can use any type of cereal you like for these bites. However, cereals that are small and have a light texture, such as Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes, work best.
  • If you want to add extra flavor to these bites, you can stir in some chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit before pressing them into the pan.

Conclusion:

These butterscotch cereal bites are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for packing in lunches, taking on road trips, or enjoying as a quick snack at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
