Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup rainbow-colored candy-coated chocolate (e.g., M&Ms)
Instructions
Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Add the butterscotch chips to the melted butter and peanut butter mixture. Stir until fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 1-2 minutes to prevent the marshmallows from melting completely.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows until coated with the mixture.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until evenly combined.
Mix in the rainbow-colored candies, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down gently with a spatula to create an even layer. Avoid pressing too firmly to maintain a light and chewy texture.
Let the bars cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour or until set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 squares or desired sizes and serve.
