A delightful twist on the classic treat, these bars combine the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with a crispy texture.
Combine the sugar and peanut butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning.
Add the rice cereal to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Work quickly to ensure the cereal is evenly coated before the mixture cools.
Press the mixture into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Use a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly and evenly.
Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Ensure the water in the double boiler is simmering, not boiling, to avoid scorching the chocolate.
Spread the melted mixture over the cereal base and let it set.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Cut into squares and serve.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and wipe it between slices.
