Ingredients
  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup butterscotch chips (optional)
Instructions
  1. Start by buttering a 9 x 11 dish well or spray on cooking spray
  2. Add the light corn syrup and sugar to a large saucepan and cook until the sugar is dissolved over medium/low heat. Watch carefully so your corn syrup doesn't burn.
  3. Add 1 cup peanut butter to your sugar mixture and stir immediately until smooth and creamy.
  4. Quickly add your Rice Krispies cereal. Corn syrup will harden so you want to work fast.
  5. Stir the cereal into the sugar mixture until well incorporated and pour into your prepared dish.
  6. I use gentle pressure with a spatula to push the cereal mixture into the dish evenly.
  7. Set aside.
  8. Next add your chocolate chips (2 cups) OR add 1 cup chocolate chips and ¾ cup butterscotch chips into a saucepan and cook over low heat until melted. The butterscotch chips can seize up so if you use those cook on very low heat and stir often.
  9. Once the chocolate is melted, pour generously over your krispies.
  10. Set aside and let the chocolate harden slightly, cut and serve!
