KELLOGG'S® CHOCOLATE SCOTCHEROOS

Steps:

• Place corn syrup and sugar into 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Mix well. Add Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal. Stir until well coated. Press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread evenly over cereal mixture. Let stand until firm. Cut into 2 x 1-inch bars when cool.

SCOTCHEROOS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the corn syrup with the sugar in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. (It's better to err on the side of lower heat here because if the mixture boils for too long, the bars will be incredibly hard to cut!)
• Remove the pot from the heat and add the peanut butter. Stir until combined. Add the cereal and stir until coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
• Combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until totally melted (about 2 minutes total). Pour over the cereal mixture, spread evenly and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate-butterscotch topping has firmed, about 2 hours (or refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours).
• Use the parchment overhang to help lift the mixture out of the pan. Cut into 15 to 20 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 1 month.

SCOTCHEROOS

Steps:

• Line a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray. Measure out the cereal and peanut butter. You want to have them ready before cooking the sugar.
• In a large pot (large enough to hold the cereal) combine the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring only for the first 30 seconds or so to combine the mixture.
• Once the bubbles have reached about an inch from the edge of the pot (or 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), cook for 90 seconds more until it reaches about 235 degrees. Remove from the heat.
• Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Add the rice cereal, and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to flatten the mixture into an even layer. Let cool completely.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Spread over the top of the bars, and sprinkle with salt and peanuts, if using. Let the chocolate set at room temperature.
• Lift out using the paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
