Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice cereal
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 10 ounces Marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the rice cereal with a spatula until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using a greased spatula or clean hands. Set aside.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and semisweet chocolate chips.

Step 8

Microwave the chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the melted butterscotch-chocolate mixture over the rice cereal layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Let the squares cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the topping.

Step 11

Once the topping is firm, cut into 12 squares and serve.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
