Servings: 14
- 5 1/2 cups Puffed Rice Cereal
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 3/4 cup Butterscotch Chips
Prepare your 9x13 baking dish by heavily greasing the pan. I used butter to grease the pan to ensure the bars don't stick.
In a medium/large saucepan add the sugar and light corn syrup. On medium heat stir until the sugar has melted and the mixture just starts to boil. Remove from the heat.
Add the peanut butter and stir until it becomes a thick sauce. Then add the puffed rice cereal. Stir to combine.
Transfer the peanut butter cereal mixture into your 9x13 pan. I use a ziploc bag on my hand to press the cereal into the pan.
In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat this until they are melted.
Pour the chocolate butterscotch mixture on the cereal bars. Allow to cool on your counter or in the fridge before serving.
