Healthier Scotcheroos
Scotcheroos are a definite favorite in our house, and for a good reason. The combination of crunchy rice crisps with peanut butter and corn syrup to sweeten things up, along with a decadent chocolate layer on top is just irresistible. So I set out to make a healthier scotcheroos version that are just as good but can be enjoyed with a little bit less guilt! The best part is that it only takes a few simple swaps. By using a brown rice crispy cereal and a natural sweetener like honey, you will have a treat that contains more fiber and less sugar! I wouldn’t go so far as to say these are healthy, but they are definitely healthier than a classic scotcheroo! Let’s dive in to making this delicious no-bake healthier scotcheroos recipe!
Ingredients Needed
Brown or White Rice Crisps: For truly healthier scotcheroos, it would be best to use brown rice crisps instead of classic Rice Krispies. Brown rice crisps are generally organic, have less sugar, and are not as refined as white rice crisps. Honey: Honey is a natural sweetener and the texture helps these scotcheroos stick together! Creamy Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter gives these that classic scotcheroos taste! To reduce the sugar in these bars, use a natural peanut butter without added sugars! Salt: A little bit of salt helps balance out all of the flavors! Coconut Oil: Coconut oil melts along with the chocolate and will create a creamy soft texture of chocolate! Butterscotch Chips & Dark Chocolate Chips: Both chocolate chips flavors are melted together to create the chocolate layer on the top! I like to add the butterscotch chips for extra flavor, even though they aren’t necessarily healthy.
