Tips:

  • Use a large baking dish to ensure the scotcheroos are evenly cooked.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the scotcheroos tough.
  • When adding the chocolate chips, be sure to stir them in gently so that they do not melt completely.
  • If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful when handling the hot syrup, as it can cause burns.
  • Allow the scotcheroos to cool completely before cutting them into bars.

Conclusion:

Chocolate scotcheroos are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy oat base, sweet chocolate topping, and crunchy butterscotch chips, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate scotcheroos a try. You won't be disappointed!
