Description

These Choco-Scotch Clusters are the ultimate no-bake treat for satisfying a sweet tooth quickly. The combination of rich semisweet chocolate and buttery butterscotch morsels creates a deep, caramel-like flavor base, while a quarter cup of peanut butter adds a savory depth and helps bind the clusters together. The addition of crispy Rice Krispies provides an essential textural contrast, ensuring each bite is both chewy and crunchy. These clusters are perfect for packing in lunchboxes, serving at casual potlucks, or enjoying as an after-school snack. They come together in minutes with just a few pantry staples, making them an easy, indulgent dessert that requires no oven time. Store them in the refrigerator to keep them firm and delicious.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring to a simmer; place the top basket over the water.
  2. Add the semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels, and peanut butter to the top of the double boiler.
  3. Stir the mixture constantly with a spatula until all ingredients are melted and completely smooth.
  4. Remove the top of the double boiler from the heat source.
  5. Immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted chocolate mixture.
  6. Stir gently but thoroughly until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate-butterscotch mixture.
  7. Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
  8. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about one inch apart.
  9. Allow the clusters to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm and set.
