How to Make Grandma's Butterscotch Chocolate Rice Crispie Squares

  1. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter and 1 (14 ounce) package of butterscotch chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, or in a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  3. Press half of the butterscotch Rice Krispies mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan (or 8x8 inch pan for thicker bars).
  4. Refrigerate the pan until the butterscotch layer is completely chilled and firm (approximately 30 minutes).
  5. In a separate saucepan over low heat, or in a double boiler, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter and 1 (12 ounce) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of water until melted and well combined.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled butterscotch layer.
  8. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly to cover the butterscotch layer.
  9. Top with the remaining butterscotch Rice Krispies mixture and gently press down to adhere.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  11. Cut into squares and enjoy!
