Notes

  • This version is a microwave scotcheroos recipe. Cook the corn syrup, sugar and peanut butter in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. Be sure to stop and whisk the mixture twice during the 5 minute time frame.  It will be bubbly, thick and sticky.
  • Work quickly once you stir in the Rice Krispies into the peanut butter sauce because it sets up quickly.  Use your hands to push the mixture evenly into the pan.
  • When you melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together, be sure to stir them every 30 seconds.  Believe me, it is very easy to burn chocolate chips in the microwave.  I know from personal experience. 
  • The best way to spread the chocolate mixture is with an offset spatula like this one. 
  • If you spray the 9 x 13 inch pan, the entire cookie will come out in one piece, and then you can cut the on a cutting board into individual pieces.
  •  We love no bake desserts like Caramel Puff Corn, Grandma's Cherry Fluff, Grandma's Pumpkin Chiffon Pie, Old Fashioned Fruit Salad, Grandma's Three Layer Chocolate Squares, and Cream Cheese Mints.
