- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Preparation:
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Ready the Cereal: Place Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Stir constantly and bring to a boil, then remove from heat immediately.

- Press into Dish: Transfer the coated cereal into the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula, press down into a flat, even layer.
