Choco-Scotch Clusters

Indulgent and easy no-bake treats with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter and crispy rice cereal - so delicious! 

Choco-Scotch Clusters

This recipe was in my maternal Grandmother's recipe collection. It is an easy version of Scotcheroos (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter rice krispie treats/bars) that you can make in no time! Doing a little research, I found this recipe originally came from Kellogg's in the 1960's! I'm so glad I found the recipe in her collection because this is a delicious treat that is super easy to make!

How to Make Choco-Scotch Clusters

Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips with the peanut butter, add the crisp rice cereal and spoon on to parchment paper. So quick and easy!

Step 1: Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on a sheet pan and set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter for 30-second intervals on high, then stir. Continue to microwave at 30-second increments until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Do not overcook. You may also melt the ingredients in the top of a double boiler starting on medium heat then lowering to low heat on your stove top.

Step 2:  Add the crispy rice cereal to the chocolate, butterscotch and peanut butter mixture and combine until the cereal mixture is completely covered (NOTE: In the photos, I had to add the mixture to the crispy rice cereal because I didn't use a big enough microwave-safe bowl)! Drop by spoonfuls on to parchment paper or wax paper and allow 15 minutes to set up.
