Scotcheroos

What do you do when you come home from the grocery store and realize that you bought butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter chips? Well, first you curse your stupidity, then you search the 27 page list of links you've saved over the months for a recipe that will use up those butterscotch chips. It will take a while because you're not really a butterscotch type of person. But you have people coming over for dinner, and how can you, the self-proclaimed baker, not have something for dessert? Eventually, though, you'll find these.

Scotcheroos are a crisp rice treat mixed with peanut butter and topped with a layer of chocolate and butterscotch. My dinner guests each had seconds. Judging by the yummy sounds and the rapid succession with which they were consumed, especially by my husband, who ate three in a row the next day, I'd say they were a success for just about everyone.

If you are a butterscotch person, try these scotcheroos.
