Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup (340g) light corn syrup
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups (300g) rice krispies cereal
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a gentle, rolling boil. Note: Don't let it boil for minutes; just until it bubbles steadily.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and mahogany colored.
- Fold in the rice krispies cereal quickly until every piece is evenly coated. Note: Work fast so the syrup doesn't cool and harden before the cereal is mixed.
- Press the cereal mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Ensure the edges are packed tight so the bars don't crumble.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine semi sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and butter.
- Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the glaze is glossy and completely smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cereal base, spreading it to the edges with a spatula to form a seamless surface.
- Chill the bars in the refrigerator for 2 hours to ensure clean cuts.
