Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or butter and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently until the sugar completely dissolves (this should take about 2-3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the smooth peanut butter until fully combined and creamy.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crisp rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir quickly to coat the cereal evenly.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Be firm but gentle to avoid crushing the cereal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chips are melted and smooth. This should take 1–2 minutes total.
Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal base, spreading it evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
Allow the dessert to cool and set completely. You can refrigerate it for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, cut into 12 bars or squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
