These bars layer a toasted cereal and peanut butter base with a smooth chocolate topping that firms up in the fridge. No oven needed, so they come together quickly for lunchboxes, potlucks, or a quick sweet fix. The combination of salty peanut butter and rich chocolate gives each bite a satisfying contrast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Method

  1. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.

  2. In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the corn syrup and sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just comes to a boil.

  3. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.

  4. Add the crisp rice cereal and stir until evenly coated.

  5. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using the back of a spatula or greased hands.

  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

  7. Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the cereal layer.

  8. Refrigerate until the chocolate topping is fully set.

  9. Cut into 24 bars and serve.
