Everybody needs a great no-bake recipe in their arsenal for those "mom, we need to take a dessert" moments. This one is a winner. After taking this to recent outing, I received an email that said "Thanks for bringing those amazing chocolate crispy chunks of deliciousness."
The original recipe notes: These are pretty intense and certainly on the sweet side so bite-sized portions are in order. Agreed!
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE SCOTCHEROOS (recipe compliments of David Lebovitz)
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Nutella
6 cups rice cereal - a mix of chocolate-flavored and original or simply all chocolate
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Butter or spray a 9x13" pan. In large saucepan, bring the sugar and corn syrup to a full boil over medium heat. Remove from heat, then stir in the peanut butter and Nutella. Mix with the rice cereal until completely coated. Press into the greased pan making sure the top is smooth.
Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips in a clean, dry bowl over set over a double boiler or in a microwave, stirring gently until smooth and well blended. Spread over the rice cereal mixture and cool until set.
