Pro Tips for Perfect Scotcheroos:

2. Gentle Mixing: Handle the Rice Krispies with care when combining to maintain their crunch and structure.
3. Even Distribution: Press the mixture into the pan gently but firmly for consistent thickness throughout.
4. Melting Technique: Use short bursts in the microwave when melting the topping to prevent scorching.
5. Cooling Method: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature rather than in the refrigerator for the best texture, just like our Carmelitas.
