Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture just starts to bubble, being careful not to let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
Gently pour the mixture over the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl, and stir until the cereal is well-coated.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch pan using a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
Heat the chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature until the topping is set or refrigerate for faster results, about 30 minutes.
Once set, cut into squares and serve.
