This recipe came to me through a convoluted email chain, but it's this specific version that my nephews *love*, when made by their maternal grandmother. The time to make is a complete guess on my part.

KRISPIE SCOTCHEROOS
This recipe is from my sister's mother-in-law. It is my take-everywhere recipe and is often requested by coworkers and friends. It's an easy, quick, no-bake recipe. I have a hard time not eating-as-I-go when I make these. As a personal choice, I use milk chocolate chips, but semi-sweet are good too. They take about 20 minutes to make, the long cook time includes the hour of refrigeration for bars to set.

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:
- To achieve the perfect crispy texture, use fresh Rice Krispies cereal. Stale cereal will result in a softer, less desirable texture.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Be careful not to let the mixture burn.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to your Scotcheroos, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the melted butter mixture.
- To make Scotcheroos with a different flavor, try using different types of cereal, such as Cocoa Krispies or Golden Grahams.
