SCOTCHEROOS
Originally printed on the Rice Krispies box in the 1960s, Scotcheroos are Rice Krispies treats minus the marshmallow but with gobs of peanut butter, chocolate and butterscotch chips. Use either natural, unsweetened peanut butter or the more conventional stuff. Either will work just fine, with the natural version tasting a tad less sweet. For a twist, you could also swap the corn syrup for honey, golden syrup or a mix of both. Bittersweet chocolate, as opposed to semisweet, helps to balance the sweetness. A sprinkling of flaky salt and crushed peanuts aren't traditional, but they look as good as they taste.

Steps:
- Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. Measure out the cereal and peanut butter. You want to have them ready before cooking the sugar.
- In a large pot (large enough to hold the cereal) combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring only for the first 30 seconds or so to combine the mixture.
- Once the bubbles have reached about an inch from the edge of the pot (or 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), cook for 90 seconds more until it reaches about 235 degrees. Remove from the heat.
- Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Add the rice cereal, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to flatten the mixture into an even layer. Let cool completely.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Spread over the top of the bars, and sprinkle with salt and peanuts, if using. Let the chocolate set at room temperature.
- Lift out using the paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Be sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan so that it holds together well.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into squares, this will help them set and make them easier to cut.
- Scotcheroo bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Chocolate Scotcheroo bars are a classic no-bake treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these Chocolate Scotcheroo bars a try!
