Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Kosher salt
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and light corn syrup. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth.
Place the crispy rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold using a spatula until evenly coated.
Transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Press it down evenly with a greased spatula or lightly oiled hands, ensuring the base is firm and smooth.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the pressed cereal layer in the pan. Spread evenly with an offset spatula for a smooth topping.
Let the bars cool at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate for 1 hour until the topping is set.
Once set, cut into 24 squares using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
