Sleepy Scotcheroos
/My favorite recipe is courtesy of one my best friends since childhood, Mary. I’d post her picture below but then I’d no longer have her as a friend…so I won’t…this time.
Get ready to make the tastiest Scotcheroos to date. You will want to have some place to take them otherwise you will eat the entire pan. I made them a couple of week-ends ago and shared them with Nate’s family. They are so good my nephew was sleep eating them…

Funniest. Thing. Ever. The poor kid didn’t take a nap and was falling asleep at the table while gnawing away at the scotcheroo….they are THAT good.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup white syrup (Karo)
- 1 1/2 cup peanut butter (Jif) (I think the secret is the half jar of peanut butter.)
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup chocolate chips (Nestle)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips (Nestle)
I’m usually not a product snob but I totally am with this recipe!!
