Peanut Butter Scotcheroos
Peanut butter scotcheroos are even better that regular scotcheroos thanks to the addition of peanut butter!!! These are beyond easy to make and have such a scrumptious topping, too! Add a little extra chocolate drizzle to fancy them up if you want! The kids are going to love these so be prepared! they are great in lunch boxes, too!

Where I grew up in Minnesota, no backyard cookout, birthday party, or post-Little League pizza dinner was complete without a plate piled high with these squares. Imagine if Rice Krispie treats had a run-in with a jar of peanut butter and then got doused in a melted medley of chocolate and butterscotch chips. An improbable combination? Perhaps. Insanely good? You betcha.
