BEST EVER SCOTCHEROOS

Instructions:

Preparing the Base

1. In a large saucepan, combine the corn syrup and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
4. Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, using a spatula or your hands to smooth it out.

Making the Topping

5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
6. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chips are fully melted and smooth.
7. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.

Assembling the Scotcheroos

8. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the pressed cereal base, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
9. Allow the Scotcheroos to cool and set at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping is firm.
10. Once set, slice the Scotcheroos into squares or bars using a sharp knife.

Serving Suggestions

11. Serve these irresistible treats as a dessert at your next gathering or enjoy them as a sweet indulgence any time of day.
12. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, although they’re unlikely to last that long!
