Des Moines Appétit

Erik Mickunas presents: How to make Scotcharoos! Here's a great dessert recipe that involves only six steps and six ingredients! You will need: 1 cup of Sugar, 1 cup of Light Corn Syrup, 1 cup of Peanut Butter, 6 cups of Rice Krispies, 6 oz Chocolate Morsels, and 6 oz Butterscotch Morsels

1 cup of sugar

I'm using Sugar in the Raw for its unique flavor

1 cup Light Corn Syrup

Karo has no high fructose corn syrup, if you were curious.

Combine sugar and light corn syrup

turn the heat up because we are looking to achieve a *boiling* concoction of oil and sugar.

Mix

i like to mix it up

once we have a fine boiling solution, remove from heat.

1 cup Peanut Butter

mix peanut butter with the hot liquid concoction

transfer into a large bowl

6 cups of Rice Krispies

pour Rice Krispies into bowl with the rest of your concoction.

Mix it up

make sure this mass of deliciousness is evenly mixed together

prepare a buttered casserole dish. I've heard of dozens of suggested dimensions, but whatever you have will probably just work fine.

pour your delicious mass into the dish

press down until the mixture is evenly distributed

*Bite*

yes I'm a savage. but not Fred Savage

6 oz Butterscotch Morsels

Set a small saucepan to low heat and add your butterscotch morsels

6 oz Chocolate Morsels

the low heat will slowly melt your morsels, but it ensures your chocolate doesn't burn

the melted butterscotch and chocolate will fill your kitchen with aromas that will undoubtedly tease any properly functioning Olfactory Systems.

mix until blended, unless you'd prefer a swirling aesthetic

pour Chocolate Butterscotch sauce over the top of your bars

spread even and chill to your liking

Scotcharoo anyone?

in my house, these will disappear overnight. I'll often find people hiding them in secret refrigerator compartments that i was previously unaware of. trust me. they are good.
