Scotcharoos

This treat has a very silly name but they are amazing!!  My sister-in-law shared her recipe with the entire Koch family and it is a staple at every family event.  My kids LOVE them and wish we would cut them a lot bigger.  Val has learned to hide them from the nieces are nephews because they tend to get into them early and stick their fingers into the chocolate topping quick.  These are a twist on a traditional rice krispie treat with peanut butter and chocolate rolled in.  I always seem to forget to about making them until she brings them to something.  I love rice krispies and they are even better with peanut butter and chocolate.

I need to get a photo of one cut and on my plate!

Scotcharoos
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
