The first time I ever tasted a Chocolate Scotcheroo was at my little sister’s baby shower, 7 years ago. I took one bite, fell in-love, and immediately went up to her friend (who hosted the shower) and begged her for the recipe.
They are a rice krispie treat that are coated in a delicious peanut butter concoction, and topped with a butterscotch-chocolate topping. They are seriously so good! They’re rich too, so a little goes a long way.
Ever since my sister’s shower I’ve noticed these being served at many showers and parties I have been to. They really are delicious, and such a perfect treat for a crowd!
