Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup or honey may be used
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy Biscoff cookie butter spread cover & microwave for ~20-30 seconds so it's drippy.
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bar such as Ghirardelli
  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Biscoff spread for the topping
  • flaky sea salt for topping
  • 1/4 cup *butterscotch chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Note: it’s best to have everything measured and ready to go when you begin this recipe. Once you start, things move fairly fast so you’ll want to be prepared :)
  • Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the honey (or light corn syrup) and sugar in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer. 
    3/4 cup light corn syrup, 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter and vanilla, mix well.
    1 1/2 cups creamy Biscoff cookie butter spread, 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • Stir in the Rice Krispies until it’s all coated evenly and no pockets of sauce or dry cereal remain. 
    6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • Transfer to the prepared pan. Gently press down with a rubber spatula into an even layer.
  • Microwave the chocolate and oil in 30 second intervals, stirring inbetween, until melted. It took a total of 1 ½ minutes for mine to get smooth and melty. 
    8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bar, 1 tsp. vegetable oil
  • Spread evenly on top.
  • Microwave the Biscoff topping for a few seconds until melty, just a few seconds. Spoon dollops over the chocolate, and with a toothpick or tip of a butter knife, gently switch the cookie butter in circular motions through the chocolate. 
    1-2 Tbsp. Biscoff spread for the topping
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.  Garnish with flaky sea salt. Allow it to come to room temperature before cutting it into squares and enjoy!

Notes

*Butterscotch chips: You can melt butterscotch chips with the chocolate to create the distinctive scotcheroo flavor. I did not do this in my recipe testing, but if you're looking for that classic scotcheroo flavor you might like doing this. 
Storage:
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days, or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture for up to 2 weeks. Freeze scotcheroos for up to 3 months.
  • When keeping in the refrigerator, allow to come to room temperature before cutting and enjoying.
  • *Note: if swirling the Biscoff spread on top and storing in the fridge, the color of the Biscoff spread will lighten in color, but will return to normal color at room temperature.
