Okay, so this is nothing new. I already posted K-bars on the other blog and these are pretty much the exact same thing only with Chex instead of Special K.
I know, I know, you were hoping that for once maybe I would post something "healthy", but come on. What's the fun in that?
Chex Scotcheroos
6 cups Rice or Corn Chex (Gluten-free Rice Krispies would probably be good too)
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups butterscotch chips (sometimes these have hidden gluten in the form of barley, so check the label and leave them out if you can't find GF)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Grease a large round bowl and pour the cereal in. Set aside. Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Set aside.
In a pan on the stove, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Stir over medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter. Immediately pour this mixture over the cereal and fold in. Pour into the 9x13 pan.
In a microwaveable 4 cup measuring cup (or other microwave save dish) combine the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and vanilla. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring very well after each interval, until it is completely melted and smooth. It should take about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Pour over the bars. Allow to cool completely at room temperature before cutting.






I love cereal treats! Simple, yet classic.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These chex scotcheroos look so delicious! We would love to have you share this at our Strut Your Stuff Saturday link party and at our new sister sight - myrecipemagic.com.

ReplyDeleteYou could use the chocolate chex if you wanted more chocolate! These look awesome!
ReplyDeleteA friend whose husband is allergic to gluten told me you need to be careful when making recipes with Chex, because the only Chex that is actually gluten free is the name brand Chex. You cannot use the off brands. I forget what ingredient she said was in the off brands, but there is one. Just a word of caution to people. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay so I fell in love with your website. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac's disease and I have been scrambling trying to find things she'll like!
