INGREDIENTS

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips 
• 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips

DIRECTIONS

• Grease a 9×13 pan. Pour the Rice Krispies into a large mixing bowl and set aside. 
• In a pot, mix together the sugar and corn syrup, then bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat once it starts boiling and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and mix well until evenly coated.
• Pour the coated cereal into the 9×13 pan and gently press down with a spatula until evenly spread.
• In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together, stirring constantly. 
• Pour the melted chocolate/butterscotch mixture over the Rice Krispies and spread evenly with a spatula. Let the chocolate set for at least 30 minutes, chilling in the fridge if needed.
• Cut into slices and serve at room temperature or chilled!
