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.

This is my mom's recipe. What's different about how I make it is the method not the ingredients. Using the microwave is key to not overcooking! I get requests to make these all the time and am consistently told that these are the best scotcharoos people have ever had. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Butter a 9x13 pan or dish and set aside.
- In a large pot, mix together sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat until peanut butter is melted and just until bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in cereal.
- Transfer mixture into greased pan and press down using the back of a spoon. Let cool about 1 hour.
- Microwave chocolate and butterscotch chips 1 minute or until melted. Stir until smooth and spread over mixture in pan.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the Rice Krispie treats into bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, so that it doesn't burn.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- If you want to add nuts to your Scotcheroos, stir them into the melted chocolate before pouring it over the Rice Krispie treats.
- Scotcheroos can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Scotcheroos are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover Rice Krispie treats, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to make, give Scotcheroos a try. You won't be disappointed!
