Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) unsalted butter, for greasing
• 1.5 Cups peanut butter
• 1 Cup light corn syrup
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 6 Cups crisp rice cereal
• 0.5 Cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 Cup butterscotch chips
• 0.5 Cup marshmallow fluff (optional)

Steps

1. Prepare the Pan: Generously butter a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
2. Mix the Base: In a large pot, combine peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the peanut butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
3. Incorporate Cereal: Stir in the crisp rice cereal until it is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture. If using marshmallow fluff, fold it in at this stage for extra gooeyness.
4. Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use buttered hands or a spatula to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
5. Melt the Topping: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together, stirring until smooth and well combined.
6. Top the Bars: Spread the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture evenly over the pressed cereal mixture using an offset spatula.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely, about 20 minutes, before cutting into 24 squares. Enjoy your decadent treat!
