Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal Use gluten-free certified if needed
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips Can substitute with semi-sweet chocolate for a chocolate version
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter Natural or conventional; smooth yields the most cohesive bars
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup Gives chew and shine; can substitute with golden syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9x13-inch pan (or line it with parchment) and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat immediately to prevent hard-toffee result.
  4. Add butterscotch chips and peanut butter to the hot syrup. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the melted mixture over Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl. Fold quickly but gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or wax paper to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
  8. Let the pan sit at room temperature until cooled and set, about 30–60 minutes. Once firm, cut into bars.
