Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 oz butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Add the butterscotch chips to the saucepan, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth. Reduce heat to low to prevent scorching.
Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined with the melted butterscotch.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).
Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press it down into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once firm, cut into bars or squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
