“These are waaaay too addicting” he said as he wiped chocolate from the corners of his mouth with a grin. It all started last Friday when our neighbors invited us to a bonfire and weiner roast.
Knowing there was going to be a gaggle of kids there I decided to make some Scotcharoos. Kids and anything Rice Krispie seem to go hand in hand. Besides, this way I could have a Scotcharoo (or two) and not have to stare at the entire pan, nibbling a little at a time until I was sick! (Yes, I have been known to do that.)
However, since it was going to be a crowd I decided to double the recipe, just to make sure everyone had a chance to eat as many as they wanted! If you have never had a Scotcharoo you may not understand, but if you have eaten them, you know they are ADDICTING!
My plan was going well until I poured the Rice Krispie mix onto my large cookie sheet only to find that I still had a bit left in the pan. Well, I guess I will just have to put those in a pan to keep at home 🙂
I made the treats, we went to the bonfire, we each ate a modest amount of Scotcharoos and we escaped without over-indulging. That is … until we got home and there on the counter sat the over-flow of my double batch of freshly made Scotcharoos. Just one. Just one little bite. Then another, then just a sliver, ohhh we need to even up that side, just one more little bite ….
