Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups crisp rice cereal
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir constantly to ensure it doesn’t burn.

Step 2

Add the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crisp rice cereal until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 5

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Press the cereal mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Set aside.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chips are completely melted and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer in the baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting (30-45 minutes).

Step 10

Once the chocolate has hardened, cut the bars into 24 pieces (or your desired size) and enjoy!
