Easy Microwave Scotcharoos

These easy microwave Scotcharoos are so yummy! They come together really quickly and are perfect for a no bake dessert!

A scotcharoo is essentially a peanut butter rice crispy treat that is covered in a chocolate and butterscotch chocolate ganache topping. They are super delicious and the perfect blend of sweet and a little salty from the peanut butter.

The chocolate and butterscotch blend together to form a warm and decadent ganache like topping that resembles a thin layer of fudge. So good!

These microwave ones are super easy, don’t require any babysitting over a stove and taste great!
