Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Cup Light Corn syrup
  • 1 Cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 6 Cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 Cup Semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup Butterscotch chips

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 9"x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Heat granulated sugar and corn syrup in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring continually, until mixture comes to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter.

  • Spread the Rice Krispies mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
