Hands down, this is my husband's favorite treat. The absolute joy of these little babies is that they are super easy, super fast and taste fabulous. I made a double batch - half for him to take to work, half for us at home. I made them on Sunday. It is now Tuesday and both batches have disappeared down various people's gullets both at work and at home. They are officially GONE!
Chocolate Scotcharoos
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
8-10 cups rice krispies
6 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
Melt butter. Add corn syrup and sugar. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Add rice krispies and mix well. Press mixture into large baking sheet (11X17). Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir. Continue microwaving for 30 second spurts until chips are melted. Spread chips on top of rice krispie mixture. Let chocolate set. Cut into squares and really, try to share a few before you eat the entire batch!

I think I would eat this whole pan myself!!
My Grandma Nita and I used to make these often...oh my, so so delicious. I don't think I've made them since I've been married...that should change. Thanks for reminding me of these yummy treats. Oh I just noticed you use rice krispies, we used Special K, FYI it works well too. -Jenna
I'm in India right now but I miss these soo much. They are my favorite treat in the U.S. and I can't make them here because they don't have the ingredients! Your pictures are tempting me!
Kylee - hopefully you'll be able to get a chocolate scotcharoo fix soon! I bet India makes up for the lack of ingredients for these with all the other delicious cuisine there!
My aunt used to make these all the time for us. Love them and always wondered how she made them. I came across this receipe on your blog, tried it, and was in total heaven!! thanks for sharing.
Julie - these are definitely a traditional recipe in my family, too. I'm glad you found this recipe and that they came close to what you remembered!
