Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar-free peanut butter and sugar-free honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the crisped rice cereal to the mixture and fold gently to coat the cereal evenly with the peanut butter and honey mixture.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and press it evenly to create the base layer of the bars.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and sugar-free butterscotch chips.
Microwave the chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the pressed cereal base and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for faster setting.
Once set, cut the bars into 16 squares and serve.
