You don't even have to bake these Scotcheroos. They are just peanut butter, rice krispies, and chocolate chips on top. Great for a simple dessert!
INGREDIENTS
SERVINGS: 24 BARS– 1 cup (310 grams) light corn syrup– 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar– 1 and ½ cups (375 grams) creamy peanut butter– 6 cups (180 grams) crispy rice cereal– 1 cup (190 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chip– 1 cup (190 grams) butterscotch chip

Mix in peanut butter until smooth. Add half the cereal and mix until just combined, then add the rest and mix until coated. Scoop the mixture into the pan and press it into an even layer. Set aside.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips. Stir well after each 20-second microwave increment to melt and smooth. Pour melted chocolate on top and smooth.

Put the bars in the fridge for 45 minutes, or until the topping is hard. Take it out of the pan, cut it into bars, and enjoy!
