🍪 instructions
- Prepare your pan: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.

💡tip for perfect scotcheroos
- Melting the chocoloate/butterscotch - Use a high quality chocolate and butterscotch chip that melts well together.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal - Line your pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang. This makes it easy to lift out the whole batch and cut perfect squares.
- Soften the chocolate layer - stir in 1-2 teaspoons of peanut butter or coconut oil when melting the chips.
- Use natural peanut butter only if it’s well-stirred and creamy.
- Cool before cutting - Let the bars cool completely before slicing to avoid dragging or cracking the chocolate. Use a warm knife for clean, smooth cuts.
- Double the scotcheroos recipe - They disappear fast!
