Chocolate Scotcheroos

Maggie got a Rice Crispy Treat Cookbook for Christmas from her Mema. I kid you not, this child has been begging for me to buy the ingredients to make some of the recipes in it for weeks! So, we picked out one to try and I bought the items we needed to make it. She was so excited when she came home from school! She was dying to make them! They were fairly easy to make and very delicious! This will make a great snack for the 6 hungry monsters that get off the bus everyday after school at my house!



Chocolate Scotcheroos:
6 cups Rice Crispies
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Melt corn syrup and sugar over medium heat. Add in peanut butter. Stir until well mixed. Add in Rice Crispies and stir to coat well. Press into a greased 9x12 dish. Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips over low heat. Pour on top of Rice Crispies. Allow time to cool and harden. Makes 24.
