What are scotcheroos?

Created by the Kellogg company in 1965, these super fun peanut butter-chocolate treats are also known as peanut butter Rice Krispie treats. Because there are plenty of butterscotch chips melted into the topping, these tasty treats were given the zippy name, scotcheroo.

Unlike regular Rice Krispie treats, scotcheroos are not made with marshmallow and butter. Don’t worry—they are still sticky sweet masterpieces! The cereal is bound together with a mixture of corn syrup or honey, sugar, and peanut butter. Don’t let the sugar and honey boil or they will be a little too chewy! After being pressed into a greased pan, these treats are covered in a blanket of melted chocolate and butterscotch chips. Once the chocolate sets up, these treats are ready to be sliced and thoroughly enjoyed!

What is the best way to store scotcheroos?

With super shelf-stable ingredients like honey, sugar, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, these scotcheroos will stay fresh for over 1 week if they are kept in an airtight container. But these are so tasty there is no way they will stick around that long!
