Equipment
- 9x13 Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Set a large pot or saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop and combine peanut butter, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the sugar mixture as it melts together, to prevent scorching. Continue to heat until the sugar has dissolved and everything is well combined. Remove the saucepan from heat shortly before the mixture begins to bubble.
- Stir the Rice Krispies into the peanut butter mixture while it is still hot. Then place the cereal mixture into a greased baking dish and flatten everything into an even layer.
- Add the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to a small saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Stir the chips together as they melt. Then paint the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the Rice Krispies bars.
- Let the bars cool completely, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Tip: You can line the prepared pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the scotcheroo bars.
