Scotcheroos have been a family favorite at our house for years! Â So easy to make and no baking required.
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.
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. Â So when I went to the blog to get the recipe to make a batch I realized the recipe wasn’t on the blog. Â This classic recipe and family favorite was not on the blog! Â Shame on me. Â 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. Â What’s not to love about Rice Krispies, peanut butter and chocolate!
They are simple and quick to make and no baking, just a little heat on the stove and microwave. Â Just melt the sugar and corn syrup on the stove top and stir in the peanut butter. Â Mix that in with your Rice Krispies and spread it in a greased 9 x 13 pan.
Melt your semi sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave and spread that on top and you are done!
Then just cut them up and enjoy! Â 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!
