Honey Sweetened Scotcheroos

Scotcheroos went down today. 🤙 When I was like 20 years old I worked in a coffee shop, to this day it is my absolute favorite job I've ever had. We made A TON of baked goods from scratch and Scotcheroos (marshmallow free rice krispies with peanut butter & chocolate) were one of the biggest hits, selling out everyday by like noon. 🤤 The big difference is they used karo syrup, making them super chewy and sticky but also really not great for you. Today I used honey in place of that and they turned out perfect.  SO DELICIOUS! Matthias said "ummmm mommy, you're the best cook in the world...I NEED you to know that!"  Thanks bud.
