Scotcheroos Recipes

Steps:

• Boil for 3 minutes the sugar and corn syrup.
• Add peanut butter, vanilla, and Rice Krispies.
• Spread into a sprayed 9x13 cake pan.
• Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together and blend well.
• Spread on top of the Rice Krispies mixture.
• Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set aside.
• In a large pot, mix together corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until peanut butter melts. Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in crisp rice cereal.
• Transfer mixture into a well buttered 9x13 inch pan. With your hands well buttered, pat it down into pan.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium low heat, melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until smooth. Spread over top of bars and let bars cool. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• In large bowl mix sugar, peanut butter and corn syrup.
• Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Check every 30 sec. after 2 minutes. Mixture is done when it starts to boil.
• Stir in rice krispies until well coated.
• Spray 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
• Spread evenly in pan.
• Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in microwave on high for 1-2 minutes (watch carefully and stir every 30 seconds - do not overcook!).
• Spread chocolate sauce over rice krispies.
• Allow to cool (may even put in fridge or freezer for a few minutes) and cover.

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13 pan or dish and set aside.
• In a large pot, mix together sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat until peanut butter is melted and just until bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in cereal.
• Transfer mixture into greased pan and press down using the back of a spoon. Let cool about 1 hour.
• Microwave chocolate and butterscotch chips 1 minute or until melted. Stir until smooth and spread over mixture in pan.

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the corn syrup with the sugar in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. (It's better to err on the side of lower heat here because if the mixture boils for too long, the bars will be incredibly hard to cut!)
• Remove the pot from the heat and add the peanut butter. Stir until combined. Add the cereal and stir until coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
• Combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until totally melted (about 2 minutes total). Pour over the cereal mixture, spread evenly and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate-butterscotch topping has firmed, about 2 hours (or refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours).
• Use the parchment overhang to help lift the mixture out of the pan. Cut into 15 to 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a heavy sauce pan cook sugar, syrup and butter over a medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and add peanut butter. In a large bowl mix into the rice krispies until krispies are coated and press firmly into a buttered 9 x 12 inch pan.
• In a double boiler melt butterscotch and chocolate chips until soft and creamy. Then pour and spread over the uncut bars in the pan.
• When they are cool cut into the size bars you like to serve.
• I warn you -- these will make you yearn for more until every last one is gone! :). And consider yourselves lucky cuz it took me nine years to get her recipe! No other Scotcheroos are as good as hers!

Steps:

• Measure out 6 cups of Rice Krispies into large bowl.
• Measure out 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter, add to bowl with cereal.
• Heat 1 cup Karo syrup and 1 cup sugar to a boil in a 2-quart sauce pan, stirring constantly. Remove and pour on peanut butter (this will melt PB and make stirring easier).
• Stir until cereal is covered, spread mixture into 9x13 pan, set aside.
• Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in microwave (1 minute, stir, repeat) or over medium heat on stove (stir constantly). Spread on top of cereal mixture.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour. Bars will cut best when they've warmed to room tempreature.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and syrup in heavy saucepan.
• Cook, stirring, to boiling.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in peanut butter.
• Pour syrup mixture over Rice Krispies in large mixing bowl.
• Caution, syrup mixture will be hot!
• Mix thoroughly with wooden spoon.
• Press into greased 13x9x2 pan.
• Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together over low heat or in double boiler.
• Stir well.
• Pour melted chips over Krispies.
• Spread evenly.
• Allow to cool.
• Cut into 1" squares.

Steps:

• Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. Measure out the cereal and peanut butter. You want to have them ready before cooking the sugar.
• In a large pot (large enough to hold the cereal) combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring only for the first 30 seconds or so to combine the mixture.
• Once the bubbles have reached about an inch from the edge of the pot (or 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), cook for 90 seconds more until it reaches about 235 degrees. Remove from the heat.
• Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Add the rice cereal, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to flatten the mixture into an even layer. Let cool completely.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Spread over the top of the bars, and sprinkle with salt and peanuts, if using. Let the chocolate set at room temperature.
• Lift out using the paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
