Certainly! Scotcheroos are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of chocolate and the nutty richness of peanut butter with crispy rice cereal. Here’s a detailed recipe for making Scotcheroos:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. This will prevent the Scotcheroos from sticking to the pan.
- Mixing the Base:
- In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the crispy rice cereal into the saucepan and gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture until evenly coated.
