Ingredients
- 11 oz butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp sea salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the butterscotch chips to the saucepan, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth. Reduce heat to low to prevent scorching.
Step 4
Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined with the melted butterscotch.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).
Step 6
Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press it down into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 9
Once firm, cut into bars or squares and serve.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
