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!

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.
