Scotch-A-Roos image

This is an old recipe that I believe originally came from a Nestle's Butterscotch Morsel's package. its a great old standby that all kids seem to love. We used to make these for Christmas every year.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c light corn syrup
1 c white sugar
1 1/2 c peanut butter
6 c rice crispies
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
1 c butterscotch chips
2-3 Tbsp chopped peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set aside. In a large pot, mix together corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until peanut butter melts. Watch closely at this point. Bring mixture just barely to a boil. (Bubbles should just be beginning to rise. If you boil too much bars with be hard.) Remove from heat, and stir in crisp rice cereal. Transfer mixture into a well buttered 9x13 inch pan. With your hands well buttered, pat it down into pan.
  • 2. In a medium saucepan, over medium low heat, melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until smooth. Spread over top of bars and let bars cool. Cut into squares. OPTIONAL: If using chopped peanuts, sprinkle them on the bars as soon as you frost them, before chocolate/butterscotch hardens.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less caramel next time.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but these scotch-a-roos were still really good. The biscuit base is the perfect balance to the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate.

These were a waste of time and ingredients. They were so dry and crumbly that they were almost inedible. I definitely won't be making these again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scotch-a-roos turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't come out right. I'm disappointed, but I'll try again another time.

These were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still tasted good. I think I might try adding a little bit of cornstarch to the biscuit mixture next time to see if that helps.

I had a hard time finding golden syrup, but I eventually found it at a specialty grocery store. The scotch-a-roos turned out great, but I'm not sure if I'll make them again just because of the difficulty in finding the golden syrup.
