A few weeks ago I had to make treats for a large group of children. I found these Scotcheroos on allrecipes.com, and got really excited, because my mom used to make these for us all the time for an after school snack. They just about as quick and easy to make as regular rice crispy treats, but have all the extra flavors of peanut butter, chocolate and butterscotch. They also have a magic power that will force you to eat five or six in one sitting, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault.
If you're looking for an easy, quick treat, give these a try. They're a hit with kids and adults!

Wow! What a great improvement on a classic treat. You certainly cannot go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate!
Yum!!! This is definitely a hit with me. As I LOVE chocolate!!
My husband has talked about Scotcheroos for years and what fond memories he has of them. I didn't know what they were and I admit the idea of butterscotch turned me off. But these look absolutely yummy!!! He will be very pleased you posted this and now I have no excuses not to make them because I have a great recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I shouldn't have read this post while choking down my green veggies and trying to be strong in my no sugar resolve. rats!

Those look so delicious!
You are a temptress, I think! These are irresistible!
Oh my goodness these need to get in my belly!
Yum! I like that you don't have to use marshmallows. I'm more likely to have these ingredients on hand then the traditional rice krispy treat ingredients. They look good enough to devour!
Yum! These look delicious! This just the kind of thing I would get up in the middle of the night and nibble on-peanut butter and chocolate-Is there any better of a combination?
