Chocolate Scotcheroos

peanut butter rice krispie treats 2

Peanut butter, butterscotch, chocolate and rice krispies = chocolate scotcheroos!   I had no idea that you could make rice krispie treats without using marshmallows either!   I was trying to make a dessert to bring to a friends house and I wanted to figure out something using ingredients I had in the house already.  I have a pretty well stocked baking pantry – so it wasn’t that difficult – but we all know that usually you run out of something right when you need it.   Luckily, I had just enough of everything to make these.  Good thing – because not only were they simple to make – they tasted delicious!   Enjoy!
