These Scotcheroos without Corn Syrup are chocolatey, peanut buttery, chewy, crispy, creamy, and simply delicious! This recipe makes just 6 scotcheroo bars and is ready in just 15 minutes.
Coat a 6x6-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the sugar and honey. Turn the heat on low and stir until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it come to a boil. Once you dissolve the sugar, remove the saucepan from the heat immediately
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla.
Stir the crispy rice cereal into the peanut butter mixture, being careful not to crush them, but make sure they are well combined.
Pour into the prepared pan and pat gently into place.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Cook on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is melted and smooth
Spread the chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture and let cool before cutting it into bars.
Notes
Scotcheroos with honey will keep for at least a week or longer and are fine served at any time.
Keep the bars in an airtight container at room temperature.
