Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

My mother has been making these Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats for many years. With that said, I’ve also heard people refer to the name of them as Chocolate Scotcheroos. Whatever you choose to call them, they sure are YUMMY good! Here’s the recipe that my mom uses!

Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup Karo syrup
1 cup smooth peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
6 oz. bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Bring the sugar and Karo syrup to a full boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Blend in the smooth peanut butter and then the Rice Krispies cereal.

Press into a buttered 13″ by 9″ glass baking dish. Make sure it’s pressed down into an even layer. Melt the 6 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels in the microwave or on the stove-top. Spread the melted chocolate over the top of the Rice Krispies. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour and then cut into squares. Store squares in an air tight container.

Thanks mom for sharing the recipe with The Classy Chic’s blog readers and for making me some yummy treats last week!
