Best Scotcharoos Recipe
With one little tweak, this Scotcharoo recipe makes the best Scotcharoos because they are soft and not hard. Plus no cutting required!
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, mix the sugar and corn syrup together to dissolve the sugar.
- Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter.
- Add 5 cups of Rice Krispies. If the mix looks too liquidy you can add up to another 1/2 up but do not add any more than that or your Scotcharoos will be hard. This is the key to making them soft instead of hard. I pretty much always use 5 cups.
- Line a muffin pan with liners and then spray with a non-stick spray. You can use regular size muffin pans or mini muffin pans.
- Evenly distribute the Rice Krispie mixture into the muffin liners and lightly press down.
- In a smaller sauce pan on low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until smooth.
- Spoon melted mixture over each Scotcharoo and with a spoon distribute evenly. You can double the chocolate mixture if you prefer a thicker chocolate frosting.
- Let cool and then you are ready to serve and eat. No cutting required!
