If you grew up in the 60's or 70's then you have to know what a Scotcharoo is. They were my all time favorite cookie in the whole wide world! I remember my cousins aunt Clarissa would bring them to extended family gatherings and I would swoon. I would sit by her and ask her every time how she made them and what the ingredients were. I don't know why it never occurred to me to write down the recipe, but I thought with the information so very valuable, I would never
possibly forget. I, of course, forgot every time, so every time I saw her, we would start this whole cycle over again. About five years ago, I was reading a recipe website and saw a recipe for my beloved Scotcharoo cookie. I made a batch that day and of course my kids went crazy. They have become a whole family favorite. If you don't already have these in your cookie repertoire, give them a try.
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.
Theses are soooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI have never had or heard about this gorgeous krispy cookie scotcharoos but they had me swooning all right......
ReplyDeleteYou make 'em real goood.....
YUM! I made the mistake of making these for my coworkers last year... now they ALWAYS request that I bring these into the office! Hahah :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen these around lately, but have never made them and I don't think that I have ever had one. They look so delicious and I love everything in them, so I can only imagine that all combined they would be addictive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and gorgeous pictures!
This is soooo yummy! Will have to give this one a try for sure.:-)
ReplyDeleteSnuthing with Rice Krispies is top notch in my books.
ReplyDeleteOf course I remember these... I am back in my church basement!
ReplyDeleteWonderful dessert trays, but i always took one of these
We love Scotcharoos. Our boys learned to make this many years ago from their scout master. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, these look like a winning treat. And the name is fun to say, too. I will definitely add these to my "cookie attack must make" list. Many thanks...
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Must try!!

ReplyDeletei was raised on these! oh how i loved them, i'm craving one now! yours look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow...that looks very, very tempting.....crunchy, peanutty and chocolatey...mmmm.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute story! I've never had this version before, but they do look delicious and perfect for kids and kids parties.
ReplyDeleteGreat flavor combo, Hubby would love these.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of these but have never had them. I love that they have butterscotch chips though...you can never go wrong with the taste of burnt sugar. Very cute story. I hate that the things I tell myself not to forget are usually the first things that fly out of my head. Writing things down is key.
ReplyDeleteI remember Scotcharoos! It's been a long time. Thanks for reminding me. They really are yummy!
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMMMM,...these bars look so good & so tasty!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this but gotta try it soon. It sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteYep, I did grow up in the 70s and I remember these, though not the name...but I remember having these at Girl Scout meetings and school birthday parties. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWow, I have not seen these in years! Thank you for bringing them back to life!

ReplyDeleteI grew up on the other side of the globe, so not many Rice Krispies in my childhood. But don't you worry. I'm making up for lost time. This recipe is bookmarked. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had these before. They look scrumptious! I bet my nephews would love them.
ReplyDeleteYummm...I have never heard of scotcharoos, but now I feel amiss at not having had these. Bookmarked! I will amend my errant ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun name-and a fun recipe to make! These look delicious, I can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteI'm from the wrong part of the world to have heard of these (I think I was eating chocolate crackles while you were eating these) but they sound irresistable.
ReplyDeletei'd love to try these! i love PB!
ReplyDeleteMade these yesterday, loved them. They did make me feel like a kid. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had these in *forever* !!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to make them sometime soon!
I like the idea of the butterscotch chips added. I have seen this with chocolate but not the butterscotch. Yum.
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome!! Can't wait to try!!
