Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams butterscotch chips
- 120 grams peanut butter
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Line a large baking tray or dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a heatproof mixing bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and unsalted butter.
Melt the butterscotch chips and butter together by using a double boiler method or in the microwave. Stir frequently until smooth and fully combined.
Add the peanut butter to the melted butterscotch mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt.
In a large separate bowl, add the crispy rice cereal.
Pour the butterscotch mixture over the cereal and gently fold everything together until the cereal is evenly coated.
Scoop the mixture onto the prepared tray using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, forming bite-sized clusters.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, remove from the parchment paper and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
