Chewy, no-bake sweet scotcheroos on a stick are easy to make and easy to customize with your favorite sprinkles, nuts, and holiday colors!
Zebra Caramel Corn, Fantasy Fudge, Vanilla Cinnamon Caramels, and 3 ingredient Chocolate Almond Clusters are more recipes to try after enjoying this one.
Chewy, crispy, peanut-buttery bite-size treats dipped in chocolate. That’s what we have here. In other words, your new favorite no-bake holiday treat in the form of little cuties on a stick with a nod to classic Scotcheroos.
Let’s talk about the five (yes just 4!) basic ingredients for this recipe…
1) Crisp rice cereal —> for substance and a bit of C R U N C H.
2) Creamy peanut butter —> for F L A V O R and R I C H N E S S.
3) Sugar —> for S W E E T N E S S.
4) Karo® Corn Syrup —> for C H E W Y GOOEY T E X T U R E.
Just stir those four simple ingredients together on your stove top to get your sticky mixture going, then let it cool for a few minutes before rolling into balls and pressing a lollipop stick into the middle and voila! Then, because everything is better with chocolate, I like to dip them into melted semi-sweet or white chocolate.
These are so easy to customize by adding chopped pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, crushed chocolate candies or holiday sprinkles. They’re n0-bake, so delicious, and make adorable gifts or party favors. Tie a ribbon around the top and deliver them to your neighbors, or wrap them in cellophane for a tasty little stocking stuffer. I love to bake a little extra during this season and make someone’s holiday extra bright with these fun Scotcheroos on a stick!
