SCOTCHAROOS

Steps:

• Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. Set aside.
• In a large pot, mix together corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until peanut butter melts. Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in crisp rice cereal.
• Transfer mixture into a well buttered 9x13 inch pan. With your hands well buttered, pat it down into pan.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium low heat, melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until smooth. Spread over top of bars and let bars cool. Cut into squares.

COCO-SCOTCHEROO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently stir in the butterscotch chips and coconut. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake until set and lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies wire racks to cool completely.

SCOTCHEROOS

Steps:

• Heat corn syrup and sugar in a medium saucepan. As soon as the mixture comes to a simmer, remove from heat and whisk in the peanut butter until smooth.
• (This can also be done in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl in 20 - 30 second increments, stirring in-between, until sugar is fully dissolved into corn syrup).
• Pour the peanut butter and sugar mixture into the Rice Krispies and mix well. Work quickly, it stiffens as it cools.
• Press the cereal mixture into a parchment lined 9x13 inch casserole dish.
• Melt the milk chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips together with a double boiler, or in the microwave in 20 - 30 second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted.
• Spread the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture.
• Let set & cool completely before removing from pan and cutting.

SCOTCHEROOS

Steps:

• Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. Measure out the cereal and peanut butter. You want to have them ready before cooking the sugar.
• In a large pot (large enough to hold the cereal) combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring only for the first 30 seconds or so to combine the mixture.
• Once the bubbles have reached about an inch from the edge of the pot (or 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), cook for 90 seconds more until it reaches about 235 degrees. Remove from the heat.
• Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Add the rice cereal, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to flatten the mixture into an even layer. Let cool completely.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Spread over the top of the bars, and sprinkle with salt and peanuts, if using. Let the chocolate set at room temperature.
• Lift out using the paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
