Scotcheroos

"This is my mom's recipe. What's different about how I make it is the method not the ingredients. Using the microwave is key to not overcooking! I get requests to make these all the time and am consistently told that these are the best scotcharoos people have ever had. Enjoy!"

  1. These are great when fresh. But why did mine get hard after two days?
     
  2. Just finished making a pan of these using the remnants from my cereal drawer. Today it was rice krispies, cheerios and crispix. They are delicious and no wasted cereal.
     
  3. While this dessert is a bit too sweet for me, the grandkids each gave it two thumbs up which equates to a 5-star review in my book. I will say these are extremely easy to make and they came out perfectly. The good thing is that they are not as sticky as the traditional rice crispy treats that use marshmallow creme. Will definitely make again for the holidays. Made for Fall PAC, 2012.
     
  4. I have been making these for years using the same method. There is nothing better on earth than these scotcheroos!!
     
  5. Trust me, these are amazing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am (mostly) employed by my husband and two daughters as a stay at home mom. &nbsp;The older I get, the more adventurous I like to get with my cooking. My mother-in-law, Chef hazeleyes, gave me a subscription to to this website back when it was recipezaar and I've been additcted ever since. Oh, and I like to run:)</p> <p>A few years ago, I completed a year of cooking&nbsp;my way through the Top 100 recipes of 2009. I made, reviewed and submitted a photo of every recipe on the top 100 of 2009&nbsp;in 2010. What can I say, I was inspired by Julie &amp; Julia but am not quite that ambitious. I am now going through&nbsp;a sort of cooking withdrawl and am excited to try some new recipes soon!</p>
