- Stir in vanilla and salt, then stir in reserved marshmallows for 1 minute until semi-melted. Stir in cereal.
- Spread into prepared pan, pressing down slightly (not too much) to create an even layer in the pan. (see tip)
- Sprinkle milk chocolate and butterscotch chips all over the top and transfer to preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until chocolate/butterscotch chips are semi-melted.
- Use a spoon or spatula to spread chocolate/butterscotch into an even layer. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and serving or storing in airtight container.

Notes
- Spreading into pan: spritz a rubber spatula with nonstick spray before using to spread/press gooey cereal mixture into the pan.
- Cooling the bars: to speed up the process of cooling, I usually put my pan into the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
