Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed
1.5 cups peanut butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup white sugar
6 cups crisp rice cereal
0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
0.5 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan generously with butter and set it aside.
In a large pot, combine peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until the peanut butter has melted completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until everything is thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use buttered hands to pat the mixture down evenly.
In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate butterscotch mixture evenly over the top of the bars.
Allow the bars to cool completely, approximately 20 minutes. Cut into 24 squares and enjoy!
