scotcharoos

My friend Ashley makes these delicious snacks for almost every gathering. And... they are an incredibly easy recipe, which makes them more inviting than they already are. And because of their ease and popularity, I decided to share the recipe here. But, before you read, make sure you notice that I never said they were good for you!

Scotcharoos

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup light karo syrup
1 cup sugar

Melt the sugar and syrup together in a saucepan. Then add peanut butter to the mixture. Continue melting until smooth enough to stir easily. Take off heat and add 6 cups rice krispies. Pour into a pan.

Chocolate chips
Butterscotch chips

For the topping, melt half a bag of chocolate chips and half a bag of butterscotch chips together. Pour over the rice krispie mixture.

Enjoy!

  1. Oh yum! I want to make those here in Romania, except I wouldn't be able to find ANY of the ingredients except sugar. Thankfully I do have a supply of pb and choc chips. I HATE that there isn't good cereal here, like rice krispies. Or chex. Ohhhh I want to make chex mix! And is karo syrup the same as corn syrup? Either way, we don't have it here. Maybe on my next trip home I'll bring some back. ;)
    Anyhow, looks delish.
