⅔cuppeanut butter (No-stir-needed WITH salt recommended. If separated, stir very well.)
pinchsalt
6cups Rice Krispies cereal
2cupssemi-sweet morsels(nestle recommended)
2cupsbutterscotch morsels(nestle recommended)
Instructions
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, and add the Rice Krispies. Set aside.
Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and set aside.
Place the sugar and light corn syrup in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until you have a paste. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil (the mixture will bubble up, which is why a deep saucepan is useful), stirring constantly, until the sugar fully dissolves. Boil for no more than ONE MINUTE MAX.
Stir the mixture well. Stir in a pinch of salt and peanut butter. Stir well until peanut butter melts.
Fold the mixture over the cereal and carefully stir until evenly mixed. Transfer to the baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Let set about an hour before topping with chocolate.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place semi-sweet and butterscotch morsels.
Microwave for 90 seconds at 70 percent power. Let sit in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir very well, using the residual heat to help melt the morsels. If needed, add additional microwave time for 15 seconds at 70 percent power. Stir until very smooth.
Pour over the Scotcheroos and spread with a spatula. Let set very well, 1 to 2 hours.
Cut into 20 or 24 bars.
Notes
TIPS:
Spray the measuring cup with non-stick spray before adding the light corn syrup.
Also spray the bowl for the Rice Krispies and the baking pan
Peanut butter (with salt) that does not need stirring is recommended.
