Scotcheroos Clusters
These easy Scotcheroos Clusters are similar to the original recipe but they have the added cereal to make them even better!
Serving30 Clusters
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon butter
- 5 cups mini marshmallow
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 3 cups rice krispie cereal
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prep. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the base. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a large stock pot. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Add the corn syrup, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips. Stir until smooth.
- Add the cereal. Turn the heat to low and gently fold the cereals into the marshmallow mixture until thoroughly coated. Turn the heat off.
- Form balls. Use your hands to gently form the cereal mixture into ~3-inch balls. Arrange them on the baking sheets.
- Make the ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the heavy cream until barely boiling (about 1 minute). In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate chips and hot heavy cream. Let the mixture sit for 3 minutes and then whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle. Drizzle the ganache over the Scotcheroos clusters.
Notes
While these are sweet, they aren't too sweet, especially if you have a sweet tooth. However, if you like a balance of salty and sweet, you can always sprinkle these with a little bit of flaky sea salt before the chocolate drizzle dries to cut the sweetness a bit.
