Step 1

Prepare a spacious bowl and pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. Ensure the bowl is set aside in close proximity for the following steps.

Step 2

Utilize a medium-sized saucepan and combine the granulated sugar, smooth peanut butter, and light corn syrup. Place the saucepan over a medium-high heat setting. Continuously stir the mixture to ensure even heat distribution and to prevent any potential caramelization of the sugar.

Step 3

Once the aforementioned mixture achieves a boiling point, promptly transfer it onto the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the cereal is evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 4

Distribute the coated Rice Krispies evenly into a lubricated 9-x-13-inch baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture gently into the dish, ensuring a uniform distribution.

Step 5

In a separate, smaller saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips. Set the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to ensure a homogeneous melt and to prevent any scorching of the chocolate.

Step 6

Once the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, pour it over the pressed Rice Krispies in the baking dish, ensuring an even spread.

Step 7

Allow the completed Scotcheroos to set for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to serving. Upon setting, utilize a sharp knife to portion and serve as desired.
