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!
