Ingredients

• 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture just starts to bubble, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gently pour the mixture over the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl, and stir until the cereal is well-coated.

Step 5

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch pan using a spatula.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Heat the chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool at room temperature until the topping is set or refrigerate for faster results, about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Once set, cut into squares and serve.
