Chocolate Scotcheroos Dessert Recipe

I’m going to go out on a limb here, but I’d say the favorite dessert of everyone who occupies my house is chocolate scotcheroos. They’re right up there with chocolate French Silk pie, and Puppy Chow, too – those are a couple more of the native’s favorites. So, having a simple, easy and original Scotcheroos recipe around is pretty darn important if you ask me. And, rice krispie recipes are always in high demand as they go really far on a budget.

Scotch-A-Roos are the "Ultimate" Rice Krispie Treat! Double the recipe and use whole box of Rice Krispies and 1 full bag of each butterscotch and milk chocolate chips. Use a jelly roll pan or larger. These are so good and such an easy dessert!

So, the last time I made these I made sure to snap a few pics and that way I could share this Rice Krispies Scotcheroos recipe with you – they’re so awesome and perfect to make if you’re in a rush or you need a dessert that will go a long ways – these are also awesome to add to bake sales and such.

Rice Krispies Chocolate Scotcheroos – It’s fun to say and they’re fun to make with kids, too. And, thanks to the chocolate, butterscotch and peanut butter, they’re even more fun to eat.

I also like to add them to the kids’ lunches as an easy and yummy dessert – they’re oh, so good! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 -16 bars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal or 6 cups regular Rice Krispies cereal I used regular in this recipe
  • 1 package 14 oz. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • + 1 cup butterscotch chips or just add 1 cup extra of the semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Instructions
 

  • Pour corn syrup and sugar into a saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to barely boil. Remove quickly from heat.
  • Stir in the peanut butter and mix well.
  • Add your cereal and stir until well coated.
  • Press cereal mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan (a jelly roll pan) coated with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a new pan, melt your chocolate chips (and butterscotch chips if you decide to use those) together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Spread evenly over the cereal mixture. Let stand until firm and cut when cooled.
  • Tip: Before pouring the corn syrup into the measuring cup, coat the cup with cooking spray and the syrup will pour easily out of the cup sparing you some time.
