Nutella Scotcheroos


A little while ago I saw that David Lebovitz had a recipe for triple chocolate scotcheroos, and I was inspired.  I decided that it would be amazing to do scotcheroos with just Nutella in them and no peanut butter.  As we all are well aware, I'm not a big peanut butter fan.  But Nutella?  Where's the nearest spoon?  My oldest Hungry Puppy and I threw these together for one of her swim meets, and they worked out so wonderfully!  They are chewy and chocolatey and delicious with a wonderful Nutella flavor and that classic butterscotch chocolate layer on top!

Nutella Scotcheroos

3 cups rice krispies cereal
3 cups chocolate rice krispies cereal
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup Nutella
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.  Set aside.

Place the rice krispies cereal and chocolate rice krispies cereal in a large bowl.  Set aside.

In a 2 quart saucepan, stir together the corn syrup and sugar over medium high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a full boil.  Remove from heat and stir in the Nutella until completely incorporated.  Immediately pour the Nutella mixture over the cereal.  Quickly stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the Nutella mixture.  Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Combine the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a microwaveable bowl.  Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.  Pour over the scotcheroos and spread evenly.  Let the bars cool completely, and the chocolate set before cutting into bars.  Makes 24 bars.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
