Chocolate Scotcheroos
Chocolate Scotcheroos are chewy, peanut butter–infused rice cereal bars topped with a glossy layer of melted chocolate and butterscotch. Sweet, nutty, and slightly crunchy, they set up into tidy squares perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or an after-dinner treat. The classic combo of peanut butter and butterscotch adds nostalgic candy-bar flavor in every bite.
