Ingredients

Servings:
24
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 6 cups rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Pan

    Grease a 9x13 inch pan with butter or cooking spray.

    Line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Combine Sugar and Syrup

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar and corn syrup. Stir until it starts to boil.

    Do not stir once it starts boiling.
  3. Add Peanut Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.

    Make sure the peanut butter is well incorporated.
  4. Mix in Cereal

    Add the rice cereal to the peanut butter mixture and stir until evenly coated.

    Use a large spoon for better mixing.
  5. Press into Pan

    Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it down evenly with a spatula.

    Wet your hands slightly to avoid sticking.
  6. Melt Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.

    Do not overheat to avoid burning.
  7. Spread Topping

    Pour the melted mixture over the pressed cereal mixture and spread evenly.

    Use a spatula to smooth it out.
  8. Cool and Cut

    Let it cool at room temperature until set, then cut into squares.

    Refrigerate for quicker setting.
