How to Make Chocolate Scotcheroos

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup light corn syrup and 1 cup granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  4. Add 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently but thoroughly until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan. Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and firmly press into an even layer.
  6. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture evenly over the cereal layer.
  8. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly using a spatula or knife.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, or until completely firm.
  10. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
