Tips for Making Perfect Peanut Butter Scotcheroos:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting scotcharoos. Look for creamy peanut butter, fresh butter, and good-quality chocolate chips.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the scotcharoos tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent the scotcharoos from falling apart.
Use a sharp knife to cut the scotcharoos: This will give you clean, even cuts.
Store the scotcharoos in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
