Ingredients

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine the corn syrup and granulated sugar. Stir well to mix.
Heat on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and tiny bubbles begin to form. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter.
Add the Rice Krispies to the peanut butter mixture and stir well to coat. Press firmly into a 9x13 inch pan.
Heat the chocolate chips and the butterscotch chips over medium heat (on the stovetop or microwave), stirring regularly, until completely melted.
Spread melted mixture evenly over bars in pan.
Allow top layer to harden before cutting.

Notes

Recipe variations:

Substitute white chocolate chips for semisweet
For even gooier bars, decrease the Rice Krispies to 5 cups
Substitute almond butter or any type of nut butter for the peanut butter
Substitute Corn Flakes or a different type of cereal
For less butterscotch flavor, use less butterscotch chips and more chocolate chips
Decorate them for the holidays with sprinkles or other decor
