KRISPIE SCOTCHEROOS



Krispie Scotcheroos image

This recipe is from my sister's mother-in-law. It is my take-everywhere recipe and is often requested by coworkers and friends. It's an easy, quick, no-bake recipe. I have a hard time not eating-as-I-go when I make these. As a personal choice, I use milk chocolate chips, but semi-sweet are good too. They take about 20 minutes to make, the long cook time includes the hour of refrigeration for bars to set.

Tips for Making Scotcheroos:

- Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your Scotcheroos have the best flavor and texture. - Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. It should reach a temperature of 240°F (116°C) on a candy thermometer. If you overcook it, the Scotcheroos will be too hard. - Make sure the butter is melted and cooled before adding it to the sugar mixture. This will help prevent the mixture from crystallizing. - Press the mixture firmly into the pan. This will help keep the Scotcheroos from crumbling. - Let the Scotcheroos cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent them from falling apart. - Store the Scotcheroos in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Scotcheroos are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy oat base, rich chocolate topping, and gooey caramel filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat to make, give Scotcheroos a try. You won't be disappointed!
