Ingredients

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil.
4. Remove the corn syrup and sugar mixture from the heat, stir in peanut butter and mix well.
5. Pour in the cereal, and quickly stir until well coated.
6. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, and allow to cool slightly.
7. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
8. Quickly and evenly spread the chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the pressed cereal.
9. Let stand until firm (or pop them into the refrigerator for a half hour or so if you’re impatient).
10. Cut into bars when set and cooled.

The original recipe for these bars comes directly from Kellogg’s and can be found here.
