Chex Scotcheroos are a delicious twist on original Scotcharoo bars! This is a no-bake dessert that is loved by all who taste it!Chex Scotcheroos

Chex Scotcheroos

We already have warm weather here that makes me want to dive into a pool. With the warm weather, I do not want to spend my days with an oven adding extra heat to the house. No-bake desserts are the best thing for this time of year! Treats without heat. There’s a catchphrase for you. I’ve made these with Rice Krispie cereal but this Chex Scotcheroo recipe is just another tasty way to make them. 

If you’re looking at no-bake cereal treats, you may also want to try our Golden Grahams S’mores Bars, Chocolate No-Bake Cookies, and Strawberry Cereal Bars! See our dessert page for all of our treat recipes.

Ingredients for Chex Scotcheroos:

  • Chex cereal
  • light corn syrup
  • sugar
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • butterscotch chips
  • creamy peanut butter
  • vanilla

Instructions for Scotcheroos:

Chex cereal in a light blue bowl.

  • Butter a large bowl and measure out 6 cups of Chex cereal. Set aside. Butter a 9×13 dish and set aside.

  • Stir the corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Once the mixture is boiling, immediately remove it from the heat. Stir in 1½ cups of peanut butter, creamy or crunchy.
  • Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal and stir together until cereal is completely coated.
  • Pour cereal into the 9×13 dish and press with clean hands to even it out. It’s easier than using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Using a microwave-safe dish, melt together chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, ½ cup of creamy peanut butter, and vanilla. If microwaving, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent the chocolate from burning.

  • Once smooth, spread over the cereal.
  • Allow bars to cool completely at room temperature or place them in the fridge.

Pro tips:

  • I like to keep these Chex scotcheroos in the fridge during the summer so the chocolate doesn’t melt.

They are always a hit anywhere they are served. They are addictive, so beware. I try only to make these when I have people to share them with outside my home. Otherwise, I can do some severe damage to these things.
