Cereal Base
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 3 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
Binding Mixture
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter Use full-fat for creamier texture.
  • 1/3 cup Nutella Warm slightly for easier blending.
Topping
  • chocolate chips Melted for topping.
  • butterscotch chips Melted for topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan with butter or oil.
  2. In a large pot, heat corn syrup and sugar until the sugar dissolves (do not boil).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and Nutella until smooth.
  4. Add both cereals and stir until the mixture is well mixed.
  5. Press the cereal mix firmly into the greased pan.
Topping
  1. Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a double boiler or over low heat.
  2. Spread the melted chocolate-and-butterscotch mixture evenly over the bars.
  3. Cool the pan until the topping sets, then cut into bars.

Notes

Serve at room temperature. For a fancier presentation, dust with flaky salt or chopped nuts before the topping sets. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
