How to Make Rice Krispies Scotcheroos

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (113g) light corn syrup.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil. (This will take about 5-7 minutes)
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup (227g) creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gently stir in 6 cups (140g) Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Press the cereal mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
  7. Immediately pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal bars and spread evenly using a spatula.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
  9. Cut into squares and enjoy! Makes approximately 3-4 dozen bars.
