Recipe of the Month: Honey Peanut Butter Scotcheroos
Is there anything better than a Scotcheroo? You just can’t beat the peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate combo. This is a great dessert bar for picnics, birthday parties, potlucks, and just for a tasty treat!
And our Honey Peanut Butter Scotcheroos are made without corn syrup and white sugar and taste better than the OG.

All About Honey Peanut Butter Scotcheroos
ingredients you need
- Peanut butter: Our go-to peanut butter for baked goods is Smuckers All-Natural.
- Honey: Honey is used for both sweetness and stickiness.
- Rice crispies: You can use either regular rice crispies cereal or brown rice crispies. We tried this recipe with both.
- Chocolate Chips: The chocolate topping consists of chocolate chips. You can use either semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
- Butterscotch chips: Every Scotcheroo deserves its fair share of butterscotch chips!
- coconut oil: Coconut oil is used to soften the chocolate coating slightly, making it easy to bite through.
our fav
peanut butter
Many of our recipes call for natural peanut butter that is dripping wet. This Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter is one of our favorite dripping nut butters. Go ahead and stock up your pantry.

Some tips
Serving a crowd: Feel free to slice these healthy Scotcheroos into giant squares for a filling dessert, or slice them into bite-sized pieces for a sweet treat that will serve a crowd.
Freeze them! We love keeping our bite-sized Scotcheroos in the freezer for an easy dessert that we can just put on a platter and serve!
Turn those bars into balls!
Since we’re big fans of bite-sized desserts, we tested this recipe by rolling the scotcheroos into balls and dipping them in chocolate. We promise you will love it. That’s how it’s done:
- Once you’ve mixed your bottom layer together, use a tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the “batter” into your hands.
- Roll the Scotcheroos into balls. Sometimes getting your hands wet helps. Put them aside.
- Make the chocolate layer as directed.
- Roll each ball in the melted chocolate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 1 hour to ensure the chocolate has set.
