Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch morsels
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Pour 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Combine the 1 cup light corn syrup and the 1 cup granulated sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the granulation of the sugar is gone and the mixture has come to a near boil but do not let it actually boil. The temperature that you are looking for is about 199-200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the sugary, peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold the cereal into the mixture until all is coated evenly.
- Spread across the bottom of the greased 9x13 dish and spread out, gently pressing the mixture until it is even.
Topping
- Combine 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch morsels chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
- Spread across the top of the cereal in the pan. Let set until the topping cools completely and solidifies. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Bonus Tip* After the topping has been spread, give a little sprinkle of flaked salt across the top for and added experience!
- It is very important to not let the sugar and syrup mixture come to a boil. Stir and watch carefully for the sugar granules to dissolve. If using a candy thermometer, pull the mixture from heat when it hits 199-200ish degrees. Above that temperature, you will have harder scotcharoos than what is desired.
- Bonus Tip* After the topping has been spread, give a little sprinkle of flaked salt across the top for and added experience!
