Scotcheroos are a type of dessert bar that originated in the Midwestern United States. They are made with rice cereal, peanut butter, and chocolate and butterscotch chips. The name "Scotcheroos" is a play on the word "scotch," referring to the butterscotch used in the recipe, and "roos," which is short for kangaroos.
