  • 1

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice or Corn Chex
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a large round bowl and pour the cereal in. Set aside.

Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Set aside.

In a pan on the stove, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Stir over medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter. Once the peanut butter is combined, pour this mixture over the cereal and fold in.

Spread into the 9x13 pan.

In a microwaveable 4 cup measuring cup (or other microwave save dish) combine the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and vanilla. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring very well after each interval, until it is completely melted and smooth. It should take about 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Pour over the bars. Allow to cool completely at room temperature before cutting.
