Ingredients
– 1 cup light corn syrup
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup peanut butter
– 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
1-Combine 1 cup light corn syrup and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir regularly to ensure even heating and prevent sticking.
2-Remove the mixture from heat and stir in 1 cup peanut butter until it becomes smooth and fully incorporated. This step is crucial for the creamy texture that defines these bars.
3-Mix in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal quickly, making sure every piece is coated for that signature crunch. Then, press the mixture firmly into a greased 9Γ13 inch pan to form an even layer.
4-Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips together, either in the microwave or on low heat, and spread this evenly over the top of the cereal mixture.
5-Allow the pan to cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge for faster setting, then cut into squares for serving. Remember, using creamy peanut butter helps achieve a smoother result, and avoid overcooking the sugar to keep the bars soft.
