Instructions
- Set out a large mixing bowl, a medium microwave-safe bowl, and a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Line the baking dish with parchment paper. (I like to make a diagonal cut at the four corners of the paper so that it fits neatly down into the pan.)
- Measure the Rice Krispies into the large mixing bowl. Then in the microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the hot peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies and mix until well combined. Then press the rice cereal mixture into the prepared pan, in an even layer.
- Wash out the microwave safe bowl and dry it thoroughly. Then measure the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and butter into the bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is very smooth.
- Spread the butterscotch chocolate mixture over the top of the bars in an even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired, then refrigerate, until the chocolate layer has hardened.
- Lift the whole sheet of bars out of the pan by the edges of the paper, then cut into 35 regular size bars, or 70 mini bars.
Notes
- If you don’t have sea salt for the tops, add one 1 teaspoon table salt to the chocolate mixture.
- Storage tips: After the treats have been cooled so that the chocolate on top hardens, they can then be kept at room temperature. Store in an airtight container, and keep in a cool dry place for up to a week.
