Valentine’s Day is just two days away! (then what am I going to post about!? Just kidding...already have some fun posts that don’t involve red or hearts) I thought I’d sneak in one last recipe that would be the perfect treat for someone you love.
Remember how a couple of months ago I used International Delights Sweet Cream to make apple dip? Well this time I added the Heath creamer to make a twist on a delicious recipe.
Have you had Chocolate Scotcheroos before? They are a chocolatel-y version of Rice Crispy Treats. For my twist on this recipe I went to the refrigerator section and grabbed the Heath creamer and a bag of Heath bits for a topping.
Warning: these are very rich. One square will fill you up. While this recipe makes a whole 9×13 pan, you could easily make a few plates to deliver to friends. Here’s how I made them:
Heath Bar Chocolate Scotcheroos
Ingredients
- 1 c light corn syrup
- 1 c sugar
- 1 c peanut butter
- 6 c rice crispy cereal
- 1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
- 1 c butterscotch chips
- ¾ c Heath International Delights Creamer
- ½ c Heath bars crushed (or bagged Heath topping)
Instructions
- Place corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil (careful not to burn).
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter and mix well.
- Add rice crispy cereal and stir until well mixed.
- Press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray (I use a spatula that I spray with cooking spray to pat it down easily).
- Set aside.
- Melt chocolate, butterscotch chips and creamer together in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Spread evenly over cereal mixture.
- Sprinkle with Heath bar topping before it sets.
- Let stand until firm.
- Cut into bars when cool.

After I spread the chocolate and added the bits, this is what it looked like:
I helped speed up the time for the chocolate to solidify more by sticking the pan in the fridge.
