sweet start to the new year. [scotcheroos]

December 30, 2012 by Caroline

Hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing holiday with family and friends. I hate to keep this so short, but I’m hopping on a plane to San Francisco for New Year’s. So, with that said, have a fantastic New Year and I’ll see you in 2013! Cheers.

Recipe:

1 cup sugar

1 cup Jif peanut butter, creamy

1 cup light Karo syrup

6 cups Rice Krispies

6 oz. butterscotch chips

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Cook sugar, peanut butter and Karo syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth and mixture starts to bubble. Add Rice Krispies and mix together. Remove from heat and press Rice Krispies mixture into a 9″ x 13″ greased pan.

In a small glass bowl, melt butterscotch and semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth (can use a double broiler instead). Spread mixture evenly over Rice Krispies. Let scotcheroos sit for a few hours, so chocolate topping hardens.
