Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dairy-free butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Stir consistently until the mixture just starts to boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately mix in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the saucepan and gently fold the mixture until the cereal is evenly coated.
Press the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the chocolate-butterscotch mixture over the pressed cereal in the dish. Spread the topping evenly using a spatula.
Let the bars cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes or until the topping is set.
Once set, slice into squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
