How to Make Caramel Morsel Bars
- Melt 14 ounces caramels and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Stir frequently until caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups rice krispies cereal (or toasted oat cereal) and 1 cup salted peanuts.
- Pour the melted caramel sauce over the cereal mixture and stir gently until every piece is evenly coated.
- Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Using buttered fingers, firmly press the caramel-cereal mixture into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the chips are softened and slightly melted.
- Remove from oven and, using a spatula, gently spread the softened chips to create a smooth, even topping.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature before cutting into 30 bars (or desired size).
- Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
