This dessert is the best. It’s one of those that I just can’t control myself with. Forget intuitive eating, and meet Scotcheroos.
I grew up eating Scotcheroos, a family favorite in desserts. I think I’ve mentioned before how my family is really into dessert and we have to have it at least once every day. Scotcheroos are easy to make and delicious to eat. You can go make them right now cause I’m giving you the recipe!
So first you boil 1 c. sugar and 1 c. corn syrup in a large saucepan or stockpot. (I didn’t say this was at all healthy because it’s really not. It’s absolutely loaded with high fructose corn syrup, but don’t let that bother you.)
After that gets to a boil, take the pan off the stove and add 1 c. peanut butter. Add 6 c. cereal – rice crispies, cheerios, corn or rice Chex work well. Stir well.
Pour the cereal mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and press down into the pan. (I did half the recipe here, so we used a smaller pan. And that brown stuff in the middle is chocolate – we started pouring the chocolate topping on before I remembered to take a picture.)
Melt 2 c. milk chocolate chips. Microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. You can also do 1 c. chocolate chips and 1 c. butterscotch chips if you like that sort of thing. I prefer straight chocolate. Yum.
Spread the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture.
This is the finished product! They are better if you wait until the choclate has solidified. If you have the patience, you can wait until that happens at room temperature or you can refrigerate (or freeze) to speed things up. Or eat right away – it’s messy but still delicious.
Hmm, I think I’ll go make some right now…
