This is a bar that everyone loves, either for the peanuty middle, the super sweet topping, or the nice crispy crunch, it’s got something for anyone, anytime! In fact…I just ate one for breakfast! My sister and my mom make scotheroos all of the time, to take to parties or just to have around the house. So, just follow these super easy steps, and we can get cooking and make this classic favorite. You will need sugar, Karo corn syrup, creamy peanut butter, Rice Krispies, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.
Start by mixing the sugar and Karo corn syrup together in a pan over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Remove from the heat right away or the bars will be too hard when they cool.
Remove from the heat and add the 1 cup of peanut butter. Stir it in until completely mixed.
Stir in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies.
Spread out in a 9 x 13 cake pan. Pat butter on the back of a metal spoon to make spreading easier.
Now it is time to make the topping. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of butterscotch chips in the microwave. Stirring chips every 15 seconds until chips are melted. You can also melt the chips in a double boiler on the stove top on low heat.
Pour the melted chip topping on the Rice Krispie bars in the pan and spread with a knife or spoon.
You can let them set until they cool and the topping sets up. Now you can share with friends and you will always want to make this bar for special events.
