No Bake Scotcheroos Cheesecake Bars

 For a delicious recipe that’s great for an easy weeknight dessert or a potluck dinner, try these no bake scotcheroos cheesecake bars will surely become a favorite. Enjoy the layers of flavors!

If you have not heard of the classic  Scotcheroos bars, they happen to be a retro dessert from the mid 1960’s. 

The original recipe was introduced on the back of Rice Krispies cereal boxes.

Scotcheroos are also one of the foods the state of  Vermont is known for.

  The recipe took off and was all the rage back then.

That original recipe had melted milk chocolate on top. These are frosted with a butterscotch (also in the original) whipped topping.

Of course you can add a drizzle of chocolate over the top but, around here we think they are just perfect.

The cool creaminess of the cheesecake along with a crispy crust and sweet, cool butterscotch whipped topping is just an all around fantastic dessert.

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Filling:

  • 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ounce package instant Butterscotch pudding
  • 1 cup cold milk, whole or 2 percent work well for this recipe

  5. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. I used a hand held mixer or a stand mixer (These two are my favorites and I use them all the time!)
  7. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk into the pudding mix.
  8. Add the pudding into the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
