Scotcheroos

I have fond memories of Scotcheroos.  As a child, one of my friend's mom's would make these for get-togethers and I always loved them.  So, I sort of assumed that everyone had heard of Scotcheroos because, um, all my childhood friends had.  But I made them recently to share with a group and no one had heard of them before!  Not one person.  So I thought, "Well shucks!  Maybe these aren't as well-known as I thought.  What can I do?"  Lucky for me, I have a food blog!  Lucky for you, I'm posting this recipe!  :)
