      Title: Scotcheroos
 Categories: Snacks, Grains, Chocolate, Nuts
      Yield: 24 servings
 
           Cooking spray
      8 c  (200 g) puffed rice cereal
  1 1/2 c  Peanut butter
      1 c  (201 g) granulated sugar
      1 c  Light corn syrup
      2 tb Butter
      1 ts Vanilla extract
           Salt
  1 1/4 c  (215 gg) chopped bittersweet
           - chocolate or chocolate
           - chips
      1 c  (166 g) butterscotch chips
           Flaky salt & crushed
           - peanuts; for sprinkling
           - (opt)
 
  Line a 13" X 9" baking pan with parchment paper, leaving
  a 2" overhang on two sides. Spray the parchment with
  cooking spray. Measure out the cereal and peanut butter.
  You want to have them ready before cooking the sugar.
  
  In a large pot (large enough to hold the cereal) combine
  the sugar, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium-high
  heat, stirring only for the first 30 seconds or so to
  combine the mixture.
  
  Once the bubbles have reached about an inch from the
  edge of the pot (or 170ºF/77ºC on an instant-read
  thermometer), cook for 90 seconds more until it reaches
  about 235ºF/113ºC. Remove from the heat.
  
  Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and 1/2
  teaspoon salt until combined. Add the rice cereal, and
  stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the
  prepared pan, and use an offset spatula to flatten the
  mixture into an even layer. Let cool completely.
  
  In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and
  butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring
  occasionally, until smooth. Spread over the top of the
  bars, and sprinkle with salt and peanuts, if using. Let
  the chocolate set at room temperature.
  
  Lift out using the paper overhang and transfer to a
  cutting board. Cut into bars to serve.
