Scotcheroos have it all! And for as long as I can remember, they've been a staple at all Wierks family gatherings, which is exactly why I’m sharing them in this week’s blog posts.

This recipe has very few steps and you don’t need to bake them – making it the perfect treat for chefs of all skill levels. 

They’re also great for parties because they’re easy to pick up and they stay fresh for up to a week (although I highly doubt there will be any leftover for that long)!
