- This Scotcheroo recipe is one of the simplest bar recipes you’ll come across, it’s like a delicious Rice Krispy treat but amplified!
- Some common questions we get when people make these bars include:
WHY ARE MY SCOTCHEROOS HARD?
This happens when you boil your sugar and cornstarch for too long, which will make it harder to set up and everything will be squeezed into the pan, and they can also be hard if you have them in the fridge for too long, you can solve this problem by letting them sit to come back to room temperature and they will soften.
HOW LONG WILL THIS PIONEER WOMAN CHOCOLATE SCOTCHEROOS RECIPE LAST?
You can cover them and let them sit at room temperature for about 3-4 days and they will stay cool. The same thing you can do is with the delicious Yellow Sheet Cake & Chocolate Frosting.
To freeze you can cut the bars individually and place them in a zip bag or Tupperware container separated by wax or parchment paper and they should last about 3 months.

I love that they are so easy to prepare and that they are really perfect for any occasion and party that you plan to attend.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- We really prefer a double boiler when it comes to melting chocolate, it helps it grip and you don’t have to stop and stir at intervals.
- Don’t overboil your sugar and corn syrup mixture as stated above, this can make everything hard and not chewy as it should.
- If you’re not a fan of butterscotch, you can absolutely use any regular chocolate chip for this recipe.
- Another well known type of bars like these is known as Special K bars, you can use Special K cereal or cornflakes crushed in the same amount for these bars.
- We haven’t tired of other nut butters in this recipe, but I guess you can use almond butter, but the flavor will be a little different.
- If you want a simple and easy dessert recipe then you have to whip up these scotcherros and quickly they don’t last long in our house and I can guarantee the same will be for you!
