Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your pans by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine light corn syrup and sugar, stirring over medium heat until it boils (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated, and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over Chex cereal in a large bowl, and gently fold until well-coated.
  5. Use an ice cream scoop to create mounds on the baking sheets and slightly press down to shape the stacks.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine remaining peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. Microwave until melted (1-2 minutes), stirring in between.
  7. Spoon the melted mixture generously over each mound, letting it drip down the sides.
  8. Allow the topped stacks to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  9. Once set, serve the Chex Scotcheroo Stacks on a festive platter or store in an airtight container.
