Wow, these are yummy! I honestly didn't think I would like these as much as I did (and wasn't very happy to find out I did since I'm on a diet..lol). I'd seen them at potlucks over the years but never tried them since butterscotch has never really tripped my trigger. Guess I've been missing out! I sprinkled some multi-colored sprinkles on top to give them a little color since they are a little blah looking. Thanks :)

I had never heard of a scotcharoo, and made it because it was a recipe for the Allrecipes Allstars group. It was as easy as making a rice crispy treat. It actually somewhat reminded me of a caramel rice crispy. However, strangely, it mostly tasted like a whatchamacallit candy bar. Edit Note: don't get impatient and stick it in the fridge, at any time, like I did. I was able to pluck it out of the pan finally, but then had to use my largest and sharpest knife in the house to cut it into squares. They got really hard. I hope I didn't ruin them. Let them sit at room temperature. It will take some time, but the chocolate will harden.

As written a 3. I made these twice, the first time they were hard as a rock. I then modified adding some butter to the mix and they were nice and chewy. With the changes I would rate them a 4. We liked them but have used other versions we like better.

The stovetop method is origanally how I made these bars but now I just stir the corn syrup and sugar together and put in microwave for 2 mins. Stir in the peanut butter and microwave for 2 mins more. Remove and add rice cereal. They never have come out hard this way.

Great! I grew up on these. Today they are one of my childrens favorites. Everyone seems to love these. They have so much flavor (not just plain sugary sweet) compared to the regular rice cereal treats.

These were great! I made them as written except I added 1/4 cup butter like some others. I took half to work cut into small pieces due to many are dieting but they were gone in 3 hours and my daughter loved them. Making more again next week.
