Description
Delicious and chewy chocolate peanut butter rice krispie bars.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups rice krispies cereal (like Rice Krispies)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1–1/2 cups butterscotch baking chips
- 1–1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Measure the cereal into a large bowl. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a heavy pot over low heat, combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir with a silicone spatula constantly until the sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Do not raise heat; do not boil (you’ll get hard bars!).
- Remove syrup mixture from heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour over the cereal in the bowl, folding gently (with the spatula) until all cereal is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan and press lightly into an even layer, being careful not to over-compress.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch and chocolate chips. Microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring for about 10 seconds between each, until the chips are melted and smooth (about 60–90 seconds total). Spread evenly over the cereal layer.
- Allow the bars to set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. Cut into bars. Best if served within 1–2 days.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for freshness.
