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 sh*t. Literally like sh*t. 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.

One sugar substitute I like is agave. It can be used in place of sugar and corn syrup and doesn't have any weird after taste. In fact, these scotcheroo bars were the first time I tested agave and I couldn't even taste any difference!

Since no bake desserts have been pretty popular on this site lately like the Cheerio Bars and Cookies, here's another one for you. Scotcheroo bars! They're only have 111 calories per serving and are 5 Smart Points each. Makes 15 bars total.

Ingredients Needed

  • Rice Krispies is a popular cereal brand that has been a breakfast staple for many families since its creation in 1928. Any other brand of rice cereal will work as well.
  • Creamy peanut butter - is a good source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Agave - is a natural sweetener that is derived from the agave plant. It is a popular alternative to traditional sugar due to its lower glycemic index, which means that it does not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.
  • Butterscotch chips - are a type of baking ingredient that are used in a variety of recipes, including cookies, cakes, and brownies.
  • Semi sweet chocolate chips - are typically made with a combination of cocoa solids, sugar, and a small amount of vanilla flavoring
  • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to Make No Bake Scotcheroos

  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.
  2. Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Spread the chocolate over the bars and cool until the chocolate has set.
