Scotcheroo Meltaways

If you love Scotcheroos, just wait until you try these Scotcheroo Meltways! They have all the classic flavors you know and love, all tied up in a smooth, melt in your mouth candy. Think of them as the creamy center of a chocolate truffle, with the chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch of a Scotcheroo!

These no bake candies are my newest twist on our viral Peanut Butter Meltaways! They took the internet by storm last Christmas, and this Scotcheroo version is perfect for Butterscotch lovers. The candies are so easy to make, and its all done in the microwave with just four ingredients, a big bowl, and a spatula.

Unlike traditional Scotcheroos, these candies skip the cereal entirely, and focus on the flavors. These candies taste like an elevated version of the classic dessert, but actually might be even easier to make.

Ingredients Needed

This is a quick overview of some of the ingredients you’ll need for this Scotcheroo Meltaway Candy Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

• Peanut Butter: Gives the peanut butter filling the best flavor, you can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Skip using a natural peanut butter so we don’t have extra oil.
• Chocolate Chips: Use high quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. I like to use semi sweet chocolate chips to balance the sweetness of the butterscotch chips.
• White Chocolate Chips: Use a high quality chip like Ghiradelli. They will be labeled as “White Vanilla Flavored Chips”
• Butterscotch Chips: They add the signature scotcheroo flavor and sweetness.

How to Make Scotcheroo Meltaways

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate. Add the chocolate, butterscotch and white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and melt in 30 second increments, stirring after each until you can stir it smooth. (You can also add them to the top of a double boiler and melt that way).

Step 2: Stir in the Peanut Butter. Add the peanut butter to the melted chocolate and stir until totally smooth.

Step 3: Pour into the Molds. Carefully spoon, or transfer the chocolate into mini cupcake liners.  I like to pour the mixture into an empty condiment bottle and use that to squeeze the melted chocolate into the silicone molds.

Step 4: Chill the Chocolates. Place the molds into the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes, remove from the freezer and unfold the molds to dump out the chocolates. Place them into a tin, bag, or container and store them in the fridge until you are ready to share them.

Storage Instructions

Keep the scotcheroo meltaways in the fridge until you’re ready to serve, or gift them. The candies are fine at room temperature, but will melt in a warm kitchen, or with warm hands, so try not to handle them too much. They will stay good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Or they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the fridge until soft enough to eat.

These Scotcheroo Meltaways are such a rich, creamy candy, that’s practically impossible to resist! You’ll love their melt in your mouth texture any time your sweet tooth strikes!
