Another summer weekend gone.  Did anyone do anything exciting?  I’m still celebrating summer over here and what goes better with summer than a no-bake dessert recipe?  Nothing…that’s what.  It has officially reached the 90’s again and I have a rule for myself that I cannot turn on the oven when it’s this hot.  Of course, refraining from making any sort of desserts is out of the question, so I must resort to no-bake goodies (have you tried these No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bars yet?).

I brought these Chocolate Scotcheroos to a dinner party and there were a grand total of ZERO left over when I went to grab my plate at the end of the night.  Who can resist crispy, creamy, gooey, and sweet all rolled into one dessert?  Scotcheroos have been around since the stone age, so it’s not anything new, but they were new to me!  The texture of these babies is just perfect and I love the butterscotch/peanut butter/chocolate combo. They are like a Rice Krispies Treat smothered in butterscotch and chocolate.

No Bake Chocolate Scotcheroos made with Rice Krispies Treats and melted butterscotch. Best dessert recipe!
Also, kids can help make these because they are, dare I say, fool-proof.  You only need 30 minutes to throw these together so they are great for bringing a last-minute party or event.

These are so SO scrumptious, but are not low cal by any stretch of the imagination.  You have been forewarned.  Also, I found out by accident that these are great if you put them in the freezer and then eat them after they have started to defrost.  They taste like a frozen Snicker’s bar!  Pour yourself a giant glass of cold milk and have yourself a Chocolate Scotcheroo.
