Scotcheroo Cereal Treats!

November 5, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

It is no secret that I love to bake, make treats and share with friends. I make these frequently, and this week I made them for a friends, school party. There are very EASY to make, basically 6 ingredients, can it get any easier? And are a step up from rice Krispie treats.

Once again, let me warn you, these are not for people who do not like sugar, high fructose corn syrup, peanut butter, chocolate or butterscotch!

Scotcheroos

Ingredients:

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of light corn syrup

1 cup of peanut butter

6 cups of rice krispies, or special K cereal

Topping

1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips

1cup of butterscotch chips

Directions:

1. Bring sugar and corn syrup just to a boil over medium heat. You want to melt the sugar crystals but not bring to a rolling boil. This will cause the treats to become VERY hard.

2. Remove sugar mixture from stove and stir in peanut butter.

3.Pour mixture over 6 cups of cereal. Stir until coated.

4.Once mixed, pour mixture into either a 9×13 pan for thin treats, or an 8×8 pan for thick ones that has been sprayed with Pam. Pat down the mixture.

5. In small saucepan, melt butterscotch chips and chocolate chips together. Pour mixture over the cereal and spread to coat. Let cool, then cut and enjoy!

Yummy!   All photos taken by me, Pine Cones and Acorns

I hope you enjoy your weekend!! It is a beautiful Fall weekend here! The leaves are beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow and still a few green ones.

    Elizabeth!

    I do hope that we will get that chance for a get-together someday! If you are ever in the Twin Cities, please let Anita or me know..what a gift that would be!

    Kindred spirits indeed:) The scuba training was fun, but open water is a terrifying concept for me..ha. I am very impressed that you went out, but I can certainly empathize with your anxiety 40 feet under!! 😉
    And a barge in Paris, oui, oui! Perhaps you can talk your hubby into that :))

    A beautiful Sunday to you, dear friend,
    – Irina

    OH NO Elizabeth!! You are not good for my waistline. I am making the carrot cake today and now you have me thinking I should make these too! I got off the hook going to the tourn. today my husband is taking my son (yippee day off) and I am going to catch up on the mounds of paperwork and then make a great dinner so when they come home, tired and weary I can treat them to something wonderful, homemmade and delicious. I can tell these would be a big hit with my kids ( and I will admit me too:) Thanks for another yummy recipe!!

    Hello Elizabeth
    I had a great bonfire night thank you… how kind of you to ask!
    These yummy looking treats would have been great to snack on around the big fire last night. I love anything with chocolate in, so will make them anyway!
    I hope you have had a wonderful weekend.

    Hello Elizabeth,
    Just catching up, not after a busy weekend, but a very lazy one.
    YUMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Want one. I was thinking of you yesterday as I am, for your sanity, sorry to say that I am off to Scotland in a few weeks. Do you want me to send you anything? I know you love it. We are up there for a week, an impulsive decision, as usual. It's been several years since I have been there and can't tell you how excited I am. I will be sure to take loads of pics for you. Where do you stay when you go?
    Hope you had a wonderful weekend dearest friend.
    Much Love
    Di

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
