Peanut Butter + Butterscotch + Chocolate = Love
Is there anything better than a Scotcheroo? You just can’t beat the peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate combination. These are a great dessert bar to make for picnics, birthday parties, potlucks, and just for a tasty treat! Our signature recipe is made without white sugar and corn syrup. Instead, we’re using honey and a little coconut oil to give you the same great sweetness and texture! Read on to learn how to make them!
What You Need for these Scotcheroos
Peanut butter: our go-to peanut butter for baked goods is Smuchers All-Natural. Honey: honey is used for both sweetness and stickiness. Rice crispies: feel free to either use normal rice crispies cereal or brown rice crispies. We’ve tried this recipe with both. Chocolate chips: the chocolate topping is made from chocolate chips. You can use either semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. Butterscotch chips: every scotcheroo deserves a fair share of butterscotch chips! Coconut oil: coconut oil is used to slightly soften the chocolate topping so it’s easy to bite through.

How to Serve Scotcheroos
Feel free to cut these healthy scotcheroos into huge squares for a filling dessert, or cut them into bite-sized pieces for a sweet treat that serves a crowd. Pro tip: We love to keep our bite-sized scotcheroos in the freezer for an easy dessert that we can just put on a platter and serve!
Storage
Let the chocolate topping set completely. Then, transfer them into an air-tight container or gallon-size bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If your pan has a lid, feel free to keep the scotcheroos right in the pan for easy storage.
Freezing Scotcheroos
Let pan of healthy scotcheroos set completely, and then cut into individual bars and then transfer into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag. Remove as much air as possible and freeze for up to 3 months.
