Ingredients

• 11 oz butterscotch chips
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.

Step 3

Add the butterscotch chips to the saucepan, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth. Reduce heat to low to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined with the melted butterscotch.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).

Step 6

Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring all the cereal is evenly coated with the butterscotch mixture.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press it down into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Allow the mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Step 9

Once firm, cut into bars or squares and serve.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
