Chex Scotcheroos – An Easy to Make Treat

December 10, 2019 / 0

If you love the classic Scotcheroos, you will love these Chex Scotcheroos – An Easy to Make Treat.

It is starting to feel like Christmas is Northern Michigan with all the fluffy snow, the Santa Parade and the Downtown Open House. It was so fun to see the whole town of Petoskey enjoying our beautiful downtown by shopping, eating and listening to the Petoskey steel drum band just up the road from Grandpa Shorter’s. All the stores hasd sweet and yummy treats which made me want to bake.

I love making cookies and bars, especially this time of year. My friends and I always do a cookie exchange around Christmas where we each pick one type of cookie and make about 5 dozen of them.

A couple of my favorite parts of the cookie exchange are visiting with my girlfriends and the gift exchange we do. I love looking at all the gift ideas that people come up with under a certain price limit because let’s be real, finding a gift you love under a certain price point is kind of hard. You don’t want it to be cheap but you also don’t wanna go overboard.

In the meantime, I changed up the typical Scotcheroo recipe and used Chex cereal. Maybe you’ll use this as your cookie exchange treat.
