Scotcharoos

Dessert 🍰Snack 🍿 American

Scotcharoos feature a soft, peanut-butter syrup binding crisp rice cereal for a chewy-crunchy bite, finished with a glossy chocolate–butterscotch topping. Sweet, nutty, and a little nostalgic, they’re perfect for bake sales, potlucks, or an after-dinner treat when you want a quick no-bake dessert with rich chocolate notes and a hint of butterscotch.
