All In One Scotcharoo Bars Recipes

CHOCOLATE SCOTCHEROO BARS

Steps:

• Butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup, and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter. Mix in the rice cereal until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
• In a glass bowl in the microwave, melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips, stirring occasionally until smooth and well blended. Spread over the top of the bars. Chill until set, then cut into bars.

SCOTCHEROOS

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.
