Ingredients
Bars:
1cuplight corn syrup
1cupsugar
1 1/2cuppeanut butter
6cupsRice Krispies
Topping:
1cupchocolate chips (a little more than ½ the bag, or, like me, double it!)
1 2/3cupbutterscotch chips (a whole bag)
Instructions
Coat 9×13 pan with cooking spray.
Combine corn syrup, sugar, and peanut butter in sauce pan on stove and cook over low heat. Stir frequently.
When melted, pour over Rice Krispies. Stir until well coated. (Most times, I just use a pan big enough and dump the cereal into the pan – only 1 thing to clean up!)
Press onto the 9 x 13 pan.
Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together. If doing in the microwave, be careful to not overdo. It burns quite easily. In the microwave, melt for about 20-30 seconds at a time, stir it to see how melt-y it is.
Spread evenly over cereal mixture.
Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, then cut into bars. Cut them small – a little scotcheroo goes a long way!
