Chex Scotcharoos (sometimes spelled “Scotcheroos”) have been around a long time, and it’s easy to see why.
They’re like other no bake cookie recipes made with cereal, but with a couple of fun twists.
First, you can make the Scotcharoos as a bar cookie OR a drop cookie. How cool is that?
Even in drop cookie form you still top them with the tried-and -true flavor combination of chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch topping.
Make the cookies with Chex cereal, so-named for its checkerboard pattern, which has been around since 1937.
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Setting time: 15-30 minutes
Makes about 35-40 bars or drop cookies
6 cups Chex brand cereal
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups smooth peanut butter, divided
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup (6 ounces) butterscotch chips
While the traditional Scotcharoos recipe calls for Corn Chex, you can use any type of Chex brand cereal in this recipe. You may also wish to substitute crisp rice cereal (like Rice Krispies) for Chex.
Use a microwave-safe 4-cup measure or other microwave-safe bowl with a spout to melt the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter for the topping. This way, you can simply pour the topping onto the cookies or spoon it easily and save mess.
For completely gluten-free recipe, use Hershey’s brand butterscotch chips.
