Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper and set aside. Pour cereal into a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar completely.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat. Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until well blended and smooth. Pour over the cereal and mix until coated.
  • Scoop into prepared baking pan and press gently but firmly to the edges.
  • Combine chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each time, until nearly melted. Stir to melt completely and blend, then pour over the bars and spread to the edges.
  • Let cool completely, until topping has hardened. Slice and serve.
