These Peanut Butter Delight Bars are a delicious twist on a classic treat, combining creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a smooth chocolate topping.
Combine the marshmallows, butter, and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in short intervals to avoid overheating and ensure even melting.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Stirring thoroughly ensures a smooth and creamy mixture.
Add the peanuts, oats, and Rice Krispies to the melted mixture and mix until well coated.
Fold gently to avoid crushing the cereal.
Spread the mixture evenly into a buttered 9x13 baking pan.
Use a spatula to press the mixture firmly for an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips.
Mix the ingredients before microwaving to ensure even melting.
Microwave the topping mixture on high for 1.5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Microwave in short bursts to prevent burning.
Spread the melted topping evenly over the base layer in the pan.
Work quickly to spread the topping before it starts to set.
Let the bars cool and set until firm before cutting into squares.
Refrigerate for quicker setting if needed.
