I never really liked Rice Krispies treats (as an adult). Then There ccame a time when we didn't have any margarine, just butter. I was hooked!!! Then a friend brought over some scotcharoos and well...The rest is still a great love for rice krispies made as scotcheroos.

1. My recipe for Scotcheroos is a very old magazine clipping, and it calls for 1 10oz. bag of regular or mini marshmallows instead of the corn syrup and sugar. The 6 cups of Rice Krispies is replaced with 5 cups of cereal, and 1 cup of peanuts; I usually use low salt dry roasted. I've used both semi sweet chocolate and milk chocolate morsels with great results. I take these to potlucks and parties whenever I don't have time to bake, or when it's too hot to turn the oven on. They always disappear quickly!

2. Our family loves these, once when out of corn syrup we tried melting the peanut butter and butterscotch chips and mixing those with the cereal. They were great!!

5. I LOVE these!! I even cooked the chocolate mixture on heat that was too high and it was crumbly... still tasted so good!! Can't wait to make them the right way. I bet they will taste even better!

6. I made the Scotcheroos before and somr people thought that the butterscotch made it to Rich and sweet. Last night made them and instead of the 1 cu pbuttercotch morsels I replaced it with 1 cup of peanut Butter Chips. And it was a bigger hit. Just thought I would share that If you don't like Buttercotch replace with peanut butter!

7. Our family has always used milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet when making scotcharoos. They are very popular at family gatherings.

8. These were a huge hit, but a little on the crunchy side. This recipe is also great with the original Rice Krispie recipe with peanut stirred in.
