Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir constantly to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Add the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the crisp rice cereal until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Press the cereal mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chips are completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer in the baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting (30-45 minutes).
Once the chocolate has hardened, cut the bars into 24 pieces (or your desired size) and enjoy!
