Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create the Cereal Base: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl. Mix well, then press into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Make the Chocolate Butterscotch Layer: Microwave chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth. Spread over the cereal base.
- Setting: Allow to set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into bars once set.
Notes:
- For a gluten-free version, ensure that the crispy rice cereal is certified gluten-free.
- Natural peanut butter can be used, but it might change the consistency slightly.
