   My mother made the no bake scotcheroos at least 45 years ago. I have carried on the tradition through my adult life. We thought my mother got the recipe off of the Rice Krispies b ox, but was not sure. They are delicious. I only use 1cup of peanut butter and use semi-sweet morsels.

2. Whitney says:

   Thank goodness you use the butterscotch chips - some people just use chocolate and that is so nasty!

3. Judy says:

   OMG.....I remember these! Haven't had them in years. My grandmother used to make them all the time. TFS

4. Lynda says:

   These are my absolute favorites! My Mom made them when I was growing up and I've been making them for 30 years now myself. I think I'll make some this weekend!!

5. Kristin says:

   These are a family favorite! We've been making them for years. If we need the chocolate/ butterscotch layer done quickly we would pop them in the freezer for a short amount of time.

6. Molly says:

   I grew up on these too and love them! My poor husband loves to bake but has made these for me 2 or 3 times and can never get them to turn out right. Maybe I'll give him your recipe and see if it's any easier than the one I have!

7. Jennifer says:

   I make these all the time for family functions. They are my go-to potluck dessert! I use 1 cup peanut butter, 2 cups milk chocolate and 1 cup butterscotch morsels. One trick I use to press the rice krispie mixture in thenpan is to put my hand in a zip-loc type sandwich bag and spray with cooking spray. That makes ip super easy and less messy to get the mixture in the pan! I also let mine set up overnight because there is no way they would be ready in an hour, maybe if I used less chocolate they would be.

8. Misty says:

   Mine came out really hard! What did I do wrong?

9. Cyd says:

   Hi Misty, sorry they didn't turn out very well for you. You only cook on the stove top til it just barely starts to boil. Don't add any extra rice krispies because that could make them dry. You don't want to under measure the karo syrup or peanut butter because that gives the recipe a little more moisture. Hope some of these tips help. You could even decrease the rice krispies by 1/2 cup.

10. Deni says:

    I LOVE these! One thing I do is actually melt the butterscotch for 30 seconds first, then add the chocolate chips because butterscotch takes longer to melt than chocolate. :)

11. Amy says:

    Love Scotcheroos! Definitely stick with the original recipe though on the peanut butter. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of peanut butter, not 1.5. I didn't realize this only until after I made these and wondered why they were so much drier and a little tougher than what I remembered. My mom also always used 1 bag of chocolate chips and one bag of butterscotch chips to give a thicker chocolate layer and its so good!

12. Anne says:

    Awesome suggestion on the sprayed ziploc, I will definitely use this tip from now on! ?

13. LU says:

    These are yummy but mine got hard fast...pop into microwave a few seconds and soft and yummy again!!!

14. CroShayLady says:

    Gotta try this. Great recipe. BTW--I'm the eldest of 6 sisters. It's a lot of fun! We have 4 brothers, also! By the 4th pregnancy Mama was wondering if she would ever be NOT pregnant. LOL!

15. Cyd says:

    WOW! Your mom is amazing! Sisters are the best! Enjoy the no bake scotcheroos. I actually made them yesterday for a neighbor! Merry Christmas!

16. Pam says:

    Yum!! My gma taught me a form of this except it only needs 1 cup of peanut butter and a bag of the butterscotch chips melted together, then add the 6 cups of krispies, stir it up, press in buttered pan, refrigerate to set and done. She called them peanutbutter scotchies. I may have to try adding chocolate on it ?

17. Nancy says:

    I have been making them for years. My last step, when finished was to cut them into pieces before letting them set up. It made them much easier to get thru later!

18. Elly says:

    Just made these bars and they look soon good I can't wait to dig in! They are currently "setting" and I was wondering if I'm supposed to refrigerate them since I will be bringing them over to my sisters this weekend, or do I just leave them out on the counter (covered of course).

19. Cyd says:

    You can leave them covered in a container. They will be fine. Have a great weekend with your sister!

20. Jill says:

    You probably let your sugar syrup mixture boil too long. I take it off the heat as soon as it just comes to a boil otherwise they will be hard.

21. cheryl says:

    They are NOT nasty if you use just milk chocolate chips. I have made them both ways. My family always prefers just milk chocolate chips. Different people like different things.

22. Patty Welsh says:

    Have you ever frozen these?

23. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, they freeze fine in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.
