Ingredients

Bottom Layer

  • 1.5 cups all-natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 cups brown rice crispies

Top Layer

Instructions

Bottom Layer

  • First, line a 9x13-inch* pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the bottom layer of the bars by mixing peanut butter, honey, and salt into a large bowl. Mix until smooth and then fold in the rice crispies.

  • Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
  • When ready to slice, remove from freezer and let chill for 20 minutes. Slice and enjoy.
  • Store the bars in either the refrigerator or freezer (or else they will melt!).

Tips & Notes

  • You can use any size pan you would like. For thicker bars, use a 9x9-inch pan and for thinner bars, use a 9x12-inch pan.
  • Nutrition is based on a 9x13 pan, which makes 36 thinner bars.

To turn them into balls:

  1. Once you've mixed together your bottom layer, use a tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the "dough" into your hands.
  2. Roll the scotcheroos into balls. Sometimes it helps if you get your hands wet. Set them aside.
  3. Make the chocolate layer as directed.
  4. Roll each ball into the melted chocolate and place it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze for 1 hour to ensure the chocolate has set.
