Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by greasing it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large pot, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the crisp rice cereal to the pot and gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture until evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly using a spatula or wax paper. Be careful not to press too hard, as it may make the bars overly dense.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for faster setting.
Once set, cut into 16 squares or desired portion sizes. Serve and enjoy!
