Preparation
Step 1
In a large pot over medium low heat, melt down the coconut sugar, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla until combined and smooth.
Step 2
Dump in the brown rice cereal and stir to coat.
Step 3
Press it into an 8×8 square baking pan that has been sprayed and lined with parchment paper. For easy removal, let the parchment paper hang over the sides to lift out the scotcheroos later.
Step 4
In a microwave safe bowl, melt together the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30 second intervals until completely smooth.
Step 5
Pour over the peanut butter base and spread it even. For a completely smooth surface, tap the pan against the counter a couple times to even everything out.
Step 6
Place the pan in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes to set. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's notes
*Regular peanut butter will also work for this recipe
**If you can’t find gluten free rice cereal, Rice Chex will also work
