Ingredients

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup Peanut butter
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • cup butterscotch chips
  • cup chocolate chips I like milk chocolate.

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, add corn syrup and sugar. Heat until you see bubbles around the outside edge of the pan.
  • Add the peanut butter. Stir until well combined and take off heat
  • Add peanut butter mixture onto 6 cups Special K cereal in a large bowl.
  • Stir until cereal is evenly coated.
  • Press into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Gently heat both the butterscotch and chocolate chips until melted. Either use a double boiler or a microwave.   Don't overheat or the chocolate changes  texture and isn't smooth.
  • Once the chips are melted, pour over the cereal mixture and spread evenly.  It's a fairly thin layer and that's all you need!
  • Place in refrigerator to cool - about an ½ hour.
  • Cut into small squares (or large ones if you are feeding teens :).
