Servings 24 bars
Calories 289kcal
Ingredients
For the bars:
- 1 cup Karo syrup (light)
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth, not natural peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
For the frosting:
- 11 oz chocolate chips (one package)
- 11 oz butterscotch chips (one package)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter ( smooth, not natural peanut butter)
Instructions
For the bars:
- Combine the Karo syrup, peanut butter, and sugar in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Heat until melted smooth, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, fold in Rice Krispies and mix until fully coated.
- Turn out into a 9 x 13 pan and using a piece of parchment paper, press evenly into pan.
For the frosting:
- In a large glass bowl or measuring cup, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter.
- Heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each heating. Continue until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Pour chocolate mixture over bars and using a large spoon or rubber spatula, spread evenly over the top of the bars.
- Place bars in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set up. Once set, slice and serve.
- Bars will keep at room temperature (after fully setting) in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for up to three months.
Notes
- If your kitchen is warm, store the scotcheroos in the refrigerator, allow them to come up to room temperature before eating. They'll be very hard straight from the fridge.
