Scotcheroos

Scotcheroos are dessert bars made with chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, corn syrup, and crisped rice. They are similar to Rice Krispies Treats, except that they contain peanut butter instead of marshmallows, and are topped with melted butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.
The recipe was originally printed on boxes of Rice Krispies breakfast cereal in the mid-1960s. Also called chocolate scotcheroos and peanut butter scotcheroos, they are popular in the Midwestern [United States], especially Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota and North Dakota.
In 2025, the Iowa State Fair hosted its first baking contest specifically for scotcheroos.

Dietary restrictions

Scotcheroos are a gluten-free dessert, so they are suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
They contain peanut butter, so they are not suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy.
