scotcheroos

Scotcheroos are a chewy no-bake peanut butter rice Krispies dessert topped with chocolate and butterscotch chips.  This is always the first to go when I take these to potlucks

Scotcheroos

sugar

peanut butter

corn syrup

Rice Krispies

chocolate chips

butterscotch chips

In large saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup (this can also be done in the microwave). Heat to dissolve sugar and bring to boil. Do not boil too long or they will harden when cooled. All you want to do here is dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Add Rice Krispies and mix until well blended. Press into buttered 9X13 inch pan.

Melt together the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a microwave safe bowl or in a saucepan on the stove. You can double the topping if you want a thicker frosting but they are pretty sweet on their own already. Spread combined mixture over top of Rice Krispies mixture. Cool. Cut into bars.

Scotcheroos are a no bake dessert classic!  A crispy rice cereal bottom, a creamy layer of chocolate and butterscotch, this is a firm fave!

butter (for greasing the pan and bowl)

flaky sea salt (for topping (optional))

Grease a large bowl with butter and place the Special K in the bowl.

Grease a 9x13 or 8x11 baking dish. The 9x13 will make thinner bars, the 8x11 bars will be thicker (as pictured).

Working quickly (before the mixture cools), pour the peanut butter mixture over the Special K and stir until combined. Scoop into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Proceed with the frosting.

No-bake Scotcheroos with a crispy, peanut buttery cereal base and fudgy, chocolate “butterscotch” topping. A decadent and (regrettably) shareable treat. Vegan, gluten-free, and no butterscotch chips or corn syrup required!

Easy Vegan Scotcheroos (No-Bake!)

maple syrup

coconut sugar

crispy rice cereal

vegan butter

coconut cream

Tbsp coconut sugar

Tbsp vanilla extract

sea salt

Line an 8 x 8-inch (or similar size) baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

BARS: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and coconut sugar. Heat, stirring continuously, until the coconut sugar has dissolved, about 1-2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and mix again until well combined and warmed through, another 2-3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large heat-proof mixing bowl and add the crispy rice cereal. Mix gently until fully incorporated.

Transfer the bar mixture to the parchment-lined baking pan, spread, and press into an even layer.

TOPPING: Add the chocolate chips to a small heatproof bowl and set nearby. To your now empty saucepan (or a separate clean one) add the vegan butter, coconut cream, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or spoon until the coconut sugar is melted and the mixture is just beginning to bubble on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Once lightly bubbling, remove from the heat and carefully pour the hot butter mixture over the chocolate chips. Cover the chocolate chips with a lid or plate and let sit for 5 minutes, then mix well with a spatula until glossy and smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the rice bars and spread to evenly cover. Then chill in the refrigerator for ~1 hour, or until the chocolate is set and no longer shiny. Carefully remove from the pan and gently peel away the parchment paper. Cut into bars and enjoy! Leftovers keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Scotcharoos stack peanut butter and chocolate into a crispy butterscotch treat! This is the best scotcheroos recipe you can make at home.

Best Ever Chocolate Scotcheroos Recipe (Soft &amp; Chewy)

Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

To a large mixing bowl, add crispy rice cereal. Set aside.

To a medium saucepan over low heat, add corn syrup and sugar. Whisk continuously to create a grainy paste.

Once paste is formed, increase the burner heat and allow the mixture to come to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat.

Stir in peanut butter. Pour mixture into the bowl with cereal. Using a heat-proof spatula/spoon, stir to combine.

Grease your hands with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Using your greased hands, press the scotcharoos mixture into the prepared baking dish.

To a microwaveable bowl, add the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave on High power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until mixture is smooth.

Pour over the top of the cereal bars and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer.

Refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator and allow the scotcheroos to come to room temperature for easier cutting.

Donna's scotcharoos are the best! I added a handful of chopped nuts for extra crunch, and they turned out amazing.

Super easy to make, and the flavors are out of this world! 5 stars!

These are a family favorite!  First time I made these I boiled the sugar mixture.  Don't do that!!!  We had to put them in the microwave before we could eat them, they were so hard.  When the sugar mixture just barely starts to bubble, remove from the heat.  Will be making these for many years to come.

We call these Annabelle’s Scotcharoos after my mom! They are wonderful. (I use a pizza cutter to cut these before they cool).  I’ve never known anyone else to make these🥰

I doubled this recipe and it is delicious! Just a couple of tips:
I put my full box cereal in large stock pot and proceeded to pour the sugar, Karo and peanut butter (cooked as directed) into cereal but had tough time getting the cereal in bottom of pot combined! I recommend if doubling the recipe I will do in reverse next time! Cook the sugar Karo in stock pot add peanut then gradually add cereal a little at a time! I think this will work better for me!
