Scotcheroo Truffles Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/4 cup chocolate or butterscotch chips for drizzling (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Truffle Base:

   • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over medium heat, stirring until smooth and combined.
   • Once melted, stir in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated.
   • Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture and gently fold it in until evenly coated.

2. Shape the Truffles:

   • Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then use your hands or a spoon to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
   • Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.

3. Make the Chocolate Coating:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
   • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

4. Dip the Truffles:

   • Once the truffles are chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture, making sure it’s completely coated.
   • Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

5. Drizzle (Optional):

   • If you like, melt a few additional chocolate or butterscotch chips (about 1/4 cup) and drizzle over the tops of the truffles for a decorative touch.

6. Chill Again:

   • Allow the truffles to chill in the fridge for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the coating has fully set.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the truffles are set, they’re ready to be enjoyed! Keep them refrigerated until serving, as they’re best enjoyed chilled.

Tips:

• Storage: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
• Flavor Variations: You can drizzle extra chocolate or sprinkle crushed nuts on top of the truffles for added texture and flavor.

These Scotcheroo Truffles are sure to be a hit with their perfect combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch flavors. Enjoy! Let me know if you’d like to tweak the recipe or if you have any questions.
