Does your spice cabinet have a lonely container of corn syrup that sits forgotten from one December to the next? No more! This recipe will give you ample reason to use that bottle right up and run out for more to make the next batch.
You will need light corn syrup, sugar, creamy peanut butter, rice krispies, and both semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Don’t skip the butterscotch chips, people. The cookies are called SCOTCHeroos for a reason.
If you are making the cookies into stoplights, you will need to dig through a bag of M&Ms and sort out the red, yellow, and green candies. Turns out there are a lot fewer reds than other colors. Is some sort of weird M&M conspiracy afoot?
The good news is that the man-handled blue, orange and brown M&Ms are now yours to snack upon!
Bring the corn syrup and sugar to a boil over medium heat.
Immediately remove the pan from the heat and add in the peanut butter.
Mix it all thoroughly.
It was about at this point that I realized there was no way I was going to be able to fit 6 cups of rice krispies in that pan. Duh.
Add the cereal and mix it until it is all totally coated with the sugary, peanut buttery goodness.
Press the krispy mixture into a 9×13.
Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together and stir until smooth. Pour the chocolate over the top and spread it out evenly.
For stoplight cookies, line up the red, yellow and green M&Ms taking into consideration where you will be cutting the bars. Let the chocolate harden.
The cookies look really cute when you cut them and serve them up on a platter! But for every bit of cuteness, there is an equal portion of deliciousness. These babies are gooooooooooooooood!
