Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups puffed rice cereal
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
¾ cup butterscotch morsels
Instructions
Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine sugar and corn syrup. Stir and bring to a small boil for 1 minute only. Remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter until completely smooth.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over puffed rice cereal in a large bowl and stir until evenly coated.
Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and gently press into an even layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal layer and spread evenly.
Let bars cool completely until the topping is set. Lift out using parchment and slice into bars.
Notes
Do not overboil the sugar mixture or the bars may turn hard.
Lightly butter your hands or spatula to press the cereal evenly without sticking.
