Easy alterations to the recipe

If you really like sweet and salty treats, try sprinkling a few crystals of sea salt on top of the cookies while they are still sticky. It provides great balance to the sweet honey.

Or try using the crunchy chow mein noodles in place of some or all of the cornflakes. The cookies will look like haystacks and have more saltiness inside.

If the chocolate topping is one of your favorite parts of scotcharoos, try adding some to these as well. You can either drizzle it over the top of the cookies or dunk the bottoms and let them set up on a sheet of wax paper.
