Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.
  • Add the smooth peanut butter and vanilla extract to the hot mixture and stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  • Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly and firmly.
  • In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and olive oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the pressed rice cereal base and spread it evenly.
  • Let the Scotcharoo bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is set.
  • Once set, cut into squares or bars and serve. Enjoy your Scotcharoo Delight Bars!
