Salty, sweet and super chocolatey, these salted dark chocolate and Nutella Scotcheroos are the perfect snack or sweet treat.
Nutella, dark chocolate, sea salt and cereal… oh my! You guys these bars are seriously legit! Do people still say that? I really hope not, will you forgive me? I’ll make you a pan of these bars. Ok, great thanks, you’re the best!
Speaking of the best, what’s better than an entire pan of caramel goodness covered in a layer of dark chocolate and nutella. Oh, but wait, we’re not done yet! the sprinkle of coarse salt just might be the icing on the cake, er, bars! Sweet and salty, and good thing it makes a pan full because you might just have one or two bars left to share with your buddies.
These sweet and salty scotcheroo bars are normally made with corn syrup but I cleaned them up a bit with brown rice syrup that gives them an even more delicious caramel flavor. While I was at it, I also swapped out the peanut butter for almond butter and some toasted sliced almonds because we all know almonds ah-mazing!

haven’t used brown rice syrup ever, but it sounds like a good idea with the double whammy of better flavor and healthier than corn syrup. and a touch of flaky salt never hurt! (:
Totally! Brown rice is such a cool ingredient! It’s richly flavored and totally versatile so I’m happy you’re able to give it a try!
Perfection. Sheer perfection, I tell ya! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than homemade scotcharoos, you go and throw this at me. I am obsessed!
Hahha thank Karly! Scotcheroos are kind of perfect but I just couldn’t help myself!
