Ingredients

1 C granulated sugar
1 C creamy peanut butter
1 C light corn syrup
5-6 C rice krispies
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 C butterscotch chips

Instructions

Melt sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring continuously.
Mix in the rice krispies. Start by adding in 5 cups and stir to coat. If there appears to be extra liquid add additional rice krispies in, ¼ cup at a time until evenly coated and not runny.
Press into a greased 9x13 pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt your chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together, stirring frequently.*
Spread melted chocolate and butterscotch over bars.
Cool until topping has hardened.*
Slice and enjoy!

Notes

*Note: if you'd prefer to melt your chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave, do so in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth

*Note: You can cool your bars on the counter or in the fridge (my preferred method is the fridge so you can eat them sooner!). 'Inactive' time noted in this recipe for cooling is for the fridge.
