Instructions

Spray a 9×13” baking pan generously with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large pot, combine the corn syrup and sugar over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer slightly. Remove from heat as soon as you see bubbles.
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the crispy rice cereal and stir until fully coated with the peanut butter mixture. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it into an even layer using wax paper or a nonstick-sprayed measuring cup.
In a medium glass bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-40 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and melted. Drizzle over the bars and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before sprinkling with sea salt if desired.
Let the Scotcheroos cool completely before slicing into 24 bars and serving. Store covered on the counter for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best results, use creamy peanut butter that is not natural or drippy.
Feel free to experiment with different brands of chocolate chips, ensuring they are gluten-free.
Store the bars in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
