I add 1 cup margarine as well as the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup corn syrup- I also double up on the chips- with the margarine these turn out chewy soft goodness!

SO YUMMY!! just a note about the peanut butter. make sure you use regular peanut butter. if you use the natural peanut butter, it's too dry and it will sieze up on you and you have a fine batch of peanut butter taffy :O).

For those who'd rather not use straight corn syrup, melt a regular-sized bag of mini marshmallows and mix with peanut butter. You can also use a dark Agave syrup in place of the corn syrup. Sweet-maple-like flavor, or make a sweet syrup of your own by adding 2 parts sugar to 1 part water that's warm enough to melt the sugar completely. You might need to add slightly more peanut butter to get the consistency desired.

We love Scotcharoos and this was a great recipe. I also doubled the butterscotch and chocolate chips for the top. Mmmmmmm!

Use 1/2 cup butterscotch and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Do not boil the peanut butter, corn syrup and sugar mixture

Delicious - a nice alternative to Rice Krispie Treats. Three recommendations and one caution: 1) I decided to try microwaving the corn syrup, peanut butter and sugar and it worked well. I did one minute at a time, stirring between minutes, and only for 3 minutes total. 2) To spread the mixture in your 13x9 pan, use a spatula well-sprayed with a butter-flavored Pam or Crisco. It let me pack the mixture firmly and make an even flat top, which helps the chocolate set evenly. 3) I did up the chips to 3/4 of a cup of each and that put a perfect amount of "icing" on top. The caution: sprinkling the chips on top of the pb mixture without melting them first (as suggested in other reviews) did not work for me - they did not melt enough to spread. I may not have moved quickly enough so the pb mixture wasn't very warm. I need to melt the chips in the microwave.

These are very good but I do wish the recipe would change because I didn't read the reviews until AFTER I made them the first time and they got very hard! So I decided to read the reviews and saw the error of boiling the mixture instead of just slowly heating the pb until it melts. When done right they are very good...they just need to FIX THE RECIPE!

I have been making these for ten years. They are great and easy to make. As I have read in previous reviews, I suggest to SLOWLY bring to a slight boil, and then add crispies. This allows you to have soft, chewy bars. I also use the microwave for the topping. 1 c Chocolate, 1c butterscotch, in microwave save bowl. Microwave ONLY 1 minute on high, stir, and pour over your pan of scotcharoos. Let sit a few hours, and they will cut much nicer. Also, the easiest recipe to remember: 1c clear corn syrup (half a container), 1c peanut butter (half a container), 1c sugar, 1c chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate), 1c butterscoth chips, {1 min in microwave}, and 6c cereal. I sometimes use the holiday colored cereal for color.

This is my first ever review but I just had to do it! My husband will tell you that I'm no Betty Crocker, and I won't disagree! I read the reviews before trying to get pointers. I added 1/4 mar. to the sugar/corn syrup and brought to "just" barely boiling. I waited for the top layer to be completely covered with bubbles before removing from heat. Then added the peanut butter. They turned out soft and chewy! I used 1 1/2 c each of the choc and butterscotch chips on top...MAGNIFICENT!!! My family LOVED them! My teenage son drooled longingly over the second pan I made. Everyone wins in my house with these! Will def keep this recipe around!

This is the same recipe I use except if you use 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup corn syrup they are much better and healthier. My sons are 35 and 37 and this is their favorite and now my grandchildren also.

This is the first time I've written a review because it's totally deserving! This recipe is amazing and so easy! The only change I made was to double the topping due to other people suggesting it. I took this to a family reunion and I should have made a double batch !Thanks for the great recipe!

Like many others, I've been making these for years. They are always a huge hit. I can't go to a potluck or picnic without them. I add the peanut butter as soon as the syrup and sugar start boiling, remove the pan from the heat and incorporate the PB well and keep stirring as you remove it from the heat! Have your cereal measured and ready, add slowly and gently. When you turn it over into the cake pan, press the cereal/slurry mixture firmly down and nice and smooth. I like to add more butterscotch chips than chocolate because they give that frosting a nice kick. Yum. Be forewarned: Once you start eating you won't stop!

YUM, these are delish! I did not have any crisp rice cereal on hand so I substituted approx 4.5 cups of oats. After adding the oats, the mixture was a bit too thick to stir so I added a splash of cold milk. The bars are probably a little more dense than the original recipe due to the oats, but I absolutely love them and will continue to make them this way! Thank you Walleye for a fantastic recipe!
