Scotcheroo Bars without Corn Syrup

Scotcheroo bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. These bars are made with a combination of crispy rice cereal, peanut butter, and chocolate, which come together to create a sweet and satisfying dessert that everyone will love.

One of my goals has been finding ways to make sweets on the new Smart Points program. It's been tough because sugar is an ingredient that shouldn't be eate

n a lot during dieting. You will not see any sugar substitutes on this site being used. I think sugar substitutes such as xylitol and stevia make sweets taste like shit. Literally like shit. I'm not joking. Those sugar substitutes have such a weird after taste, and that is why I refuse to use them.

If you like no bake treats try No Bake Peanut Butter Pie, No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, or No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars.

• Semi sweet chocolate chips - are typically made with a combination of cocoa solids, sugar, and a small amount of vanilla flavoring

How to Make No Bake Scotcheroos

Step 1 In a small sauce pan melt the peanut butter and agave and stir until well combined. Add the 2 cups of rice cereal to the peanut butter and agave and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture in an 8X8 pan.

Step 2 Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

Step 3 Spread the chocolate over the bars and cool until the chocolate has set.

How do I store leftovers?

Once food has cooled, transfer leftovers into airtight containers. Glass containers are a great choice as they are non-porous and don't absorb odors or stains. If you prefer plastic, make sure it's BPA-free and food-grade.

 Label the containers with the date to keep track of how long the food has been stored. Most leftovers are best consumed within three to four days.
