Scotcheroos have been a family favorite at our house for years!  So easy to make and no baking required.Scotcheroos - family favorite and classic

Last year I put together a list of  20 Cookie Recipes Everyone Should Have.  They are all my favorites,  classics, cookies I make over and over again and have been making for years.  The recipes I think should be in every family bakers recipe file.  But there is one recipe I left out.  I guess it is technically not a cookie, but I’m sharing it today!    I didn’t leave them out because I didn’t think they were worthy, it was more because I just forgot.

Scotcheroos

So a few weeks ago a friend’s husband helped me out with something and I asked her what treat I could make for him to thank him and she told me he would never turn down a Scotcheroo.  So when I went to the blog to get the recipe to make a batch I realized the recipe wasn’t on the blog.  This classic recipe and family favorite was not on the blog!  Shame on me.  Well, now it is and I know where to find it.

The recipe was given to me years ago, probably over 25 years, by a dear friend and it quickly became a family favorite.  What’s not to love about Rice Krispies, peanut butter and chocolate!

Scotcheroos

They are simple and quick to make and no baking, just a little heat on the stove and microwave.  Just melt the sugar and corn syrup on the stove top and stir in the peanut butter.  Mix that in with your Rice Krispies and spread it in a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Scotcheroos

Melt your semi sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave and spread that on top and you are done!

Scotcheroos - a family favorite

Then just cut them up and enjoy!  The kids will love them and I hope my friend’s husband does too!!

    My husband’s family makes these, too, but they call them Peanut Butter Rice Krispy treats. =) His aunt contributed them to the family cookbook we received as a wedding gift. We even had them when we got together Thanksgiving weekend. So yummy!
