Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal Ensure freshness for the best crunch.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can substitute with sunflower seed butter for nut-free version.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Can try flavored chips for variety.
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring continuously.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour the mixture over the Rice Krispies in a large bowl, then stir until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch pan and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together until smooth and glossy, stirring every 30 seconds to avoid burning.
  6. Pour the melted mixture over the Rice Krispie base and spread it evenly.
  7. Allow the treats to cool and set before cutting them into squares.

Notes

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze with parchment paper separating layers.
