Scotcheroos

I always love it when these are on the dessert table at potluck meals, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I made them for myself. They are super easy to make and everyone seems to love them. There are lots of recipes floating around for these, but the one I am posting here is directly from the Nestle website (so I guess that means you should use Nestle brand chips when you make them!). By the way, Erin always calls these "Snickeroos" and I like to tease her about it. (Maybe I'll have to try putting Snickers in them sometime!)

• 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 6 cups toasted rice cereal
• 1 2/3 cups (11 oz. package) butterscotch chips
• 1 cup (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Coat 13x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Combine peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup in large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal; stir until thoroughly coated. Press onto bottom of prepared baking pan.

Microwave butterscotch and chocolate chips in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on 50% power for 1 minute; stir. If necessary microwave longer, stirring every 15-30 seconds until just smooth. Spread over cereal mixture.

Allow to cool until topping is firm (may refrigerate to speed things up). Cut into bars and enjoy!
