Chocolate 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. 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!

3. 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!!

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

7. Because the Scotcheroos use corn syrup, sweetened chocolate, sweetened butterscotch, and sweetened peanutbutter, I tried cutting the sugar to 1/2 cup. It was still extremely sweet. I cut the sugar out altogether the last time and this treat is still extrememly (deliciously) sweet. The cup of sugar is excess and not needed.

8. This is something my mom always made for me on Christmas but, I couldn't find te recpe on here. It's rice krispie treats with peppermint candies in it..You crush up the candies really small and add then when you melted the marshmallows and add the cereal. It's divine..

9. 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!

11. These are a favorite childhood memory from the late 60's and early 70's. Seems like the original recipe had the chocolate layer sandwiched between the cereal mix, rather than topping it. That's the way I remember it, so that's the way I'm going to try it!

14. 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.
