They hover like seagulls, waiting for that first crunchy corner piece. One time, I caught my toddler climbing the counter trying to sneak a bite before dinner. Scotcheroos have become our tradition of comfort after a long week. Plus, they make me feel all nostalgic, remembering my nana whipping up batches faster than I could devour them.

How to Make It

Alright, so picture this – you’re in your kitchen with Spotify on shuffle or maybe you’re just singing into your spatula – no judgment. Grab your big ol’ saucepan and get started.

1. In this trusty pan, dump in some sugar and corn syrup. Heat it till it melts into a gooey bliss. But don’t you dare let it boil over! Learned that the messy way.

2. Next, it’s peanut butter time. Stir it in until everything’s smoother than a corny pick-up line.

3. In a large bowl, mix this hug-in-a-pan over your crisp rice cereal. Stir it honestly, because who loves a clump, right?

4. Smush all of it into a casual 9×13 pan. The more lopsided, the cooler.

5. Now, chocolate meets butterscotch. Melt them together. Use the microwave – embrace your inner lazy chef. Pour this seduction over the cereal base.

6. Refrigerate these bad boys if you can wait. Otherwise, give them one good solid hour to set.

Ingredient Notes

– Sugar: Be careful, my friend. Too crispy equals one sneaky boil-over!

3. Combine mixture with cereal in a large bowl.
4. Press mixture into a 9×13 pan.
