Calories per serving: 507
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chunky peanut butter (smooth will work, too)
6 cups rice krispie cereal
3/4 cup chocolate chips (i prefer bittersweet chocolate)
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
Directions:
In a very large glass bowl, combine corn syrup and granulated sugar. Mix well. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir.
Add peanut butter to sugar mixture and stir well. Microwave for 30 additional seconds.
Add rice krispie cereal to peanut butte rand sugar mixture. Stir very well, being sure to coat all the cereal evenly.
Using a rubber scraper, press cereal mixture into greased baking pan. Make sure to level.
In a small glass bowl, mix together chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave for one minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until chips are completely melted and smooth. (Add additional time, if needed, for melting.)
Spread over cereal bars. Allow to set up at room temperature or refrigerate for a few minutes until the chocolate has set.
Cut into bars and serve.
A few tips:
Do not overcook the sugar mixture. Also, be sure to stir cereal and peanut butter mixture together well. Do not press the mixture to firmly into the pan that you crush the rice krispies and compact it, making it hard.
