Instructions:
- Start by preparing the butterscotch mixture. In a heatproof bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and butterscotch chips.
- Create a makeshift double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the mixture continuously until the butterscotch chips and peanut butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and quickly stir in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring that it’s evenly coated with the butterscotch-peanut butter mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Now, transfer the mixture into a 13x9x2-inch pan, and using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the Butterscotch Krispies to chill for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm and set.
- Once chilled, remove the pan from the refrigerator and cut the Butterscotch Krispies into squares or bars, depending on your preference.
- Serve and enjoy these irresistible treats! They’re perfect for snacking, lunchboxes, or any time you’re craving a deliciously sweet pick-me-up.
Recipe Notes:
- For an extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts such as peanuts or almonds to the mixture before pressing it into the pan.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled Butterscotch Krispies for an added layer of decadence.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. But let’s be honest – they probably won’t last that long!
