Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chex Scotcheroos Clusters
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of peanut butter, and 1 cup of white sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, measure 6 cups of Corn Chex cereal and pour the warm peanut butter mixture over it. Gently stir with a spatula, ensuring each piece of cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and drop it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Shape into clusters and let them cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Spoon the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture generously over each of the cooled clusters, ensuring they’re well coated. Let rest for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Once the chocolate has fully hardened, carefully lift the clusters off the parchment and transfer to a serving plate.
