Chocolate Scotcheroos

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups rice crispies

1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Combine sugar and syrup in a saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently until mixture boils. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter, mix well, add rice crispies, stir until well blended. Press mixture into buttered 13 x 9 pan.

Melt chips together. Spread evenly over bars. Cool until firm.

Melt-a-ways

2 Squares butter
3/4 Cup cornstarch
1/3 Cup powdered sugar
1 Cup flour

Cream butter till fluffy, then add rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Put dough in a cake decorating bag, and squeeze onto wax paper - so it looks like a long worm.
Cover, put in fridge and chill for 1 hour. Slice into size you want. You can make them very small to be bite-sized. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 min. Let cool, put a drop of icing on top.

Frosting:
3 oz. cream cheese
1 Cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Another variation: One day my friend brought me some melt-a-ways from a bakery in Bountiful. They were regular cookie-sized. So, the last time I made this recipe, I chilled the dough for one hour, then used my ice-cream/cookie scoop and dropped them onto the cookie sheet in a regular cookie form. They were yummy that way too!

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch buttermilk
½ cup mayo
½ cup milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredder cheddar cheese
[mix together, I usually add it all in my kitchenaid cuz it mixes smoother]

1 package Sliced almonds [mix 3/4 bag in the mixture and save some to on the saran wrap so when you put the mixture on top of it, it has pretty almonds on top!]

Mold into ball or 2 balls … cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for a few hours.
