Scotcheroos - My Mother-In-Law's Recipe!
"In ND everyone likes bars! These are very addictive. When I first saw them I thought I don't like rice krispies...silly me!
I have found if I eat just one I am back to the kitchen sneaking one after another. My kids love them! So I hope you enjoy them!"

My family has been making these for years. They are the "go-to", last minute dessert. Be sure NOT to overcook the sugar and corn syrup or they will harden too much. To those who have never tried these...be prepared. They are so easy and addicting that it's ridiculous! -
These are great and very addicting! We placed them in the refrigerator so they the chocolate wouldn't melt in the unseasonably HOT weather we are having. If you do this, you need to set them out for 15 minutes so you can get them out of the dish. Jelly, thanks for posting!! -
Amazing. Better than store bought ones and my kids like to help. 9x13 pan. Thank you for posting! -

I made these today using this recipe for the first time and my mom said these were the best scotcheroos she has ever had. We have made these for years with all kinds of recipes but this recipe is the best! Also remember to not overcook the sugar mix because when you don't they won't harden too much and will be much more enjoyable!

10/10, made these a few days ago for the first time, and they only lasted that day. Delicious!

Yummy! yummy! My son goes back to his college dorm tomorrow after staying home all summer. He requested scotcheroos to take with him. I chose this recipe and I can say I definitely picked the right one. These are quite addicting so I’m thankful he’ll be taking them all with him when he goes, otherwise I’d put on some unwanted pounds!??

Hi! Jelly here!
My husband and I live on the Great Plains in the coldest state (feels like it) in the country.
My husband and I farm. We grow hard red spring wheat and soy beans. I raise chickens and turkeys too!
I have a love for gardening (flowers, veggies, fruits, and berries) and canning, freezing, jelly making, preserving, drying herbs, cooking and baking! These are my passions!
I am an avid reader and I like to write and I collect quotes and short poems.
And I have a new passion or should I say "Addiction"! ZAAR!!!!! Love you all!
We have a golden retriever pup! Our baby! :) Her name is Maisy! 75 pounds!!!!Also, have nine kitties - Sarah, Sebastian, Midnight, Henry, Sam, Star, Garfield, Lilly, and Zeus!
Our area is rural and we have a 45 min. drive to the nearest city. It is a long trip there and back!
We try to be as green as possible and recycle. We have become very conscientious of our environment. It is our children's future.
We carry our our own canvas shopping bags to the market and use a cooler that we keep in the trunk or back of the pickup. No more plastic!
We love life on the farm and feel very fortunate to have had so many wonderful experiences in life. Done a lot of traveling and feel satisfied.
We make and bottle our own wines. They are delicious!
This year's wine is working in the carboys in the basement and should be a great batch. We picked late and they were very sweet and required very little sugar.
Got the jelly made and sent some to relatives and friends!
It has been a tough season this year....sigh...
Soybeans and wheat are harvested and in the bins! Now we hope the market is in our favor!
Christmas was quiet as we had a blizzard that immobilized the state for three days...bah humbug...it took us another three days to dig out! Okay. I've had enough snow for the winter!!!! Oy vey....
A little prayer for mankind -
Dear God,
Bless us all in the New Year...may we have the crops to feed everyone and full bellies, good jobs, roofs over heads and a peaceful world for everyone.
This is all I ask for the New Year ahead.
Amen.
Always, Jelly
