Scotcharoo Bars

This is the recipe from Rice Krispies. It’s a modified Rice Krispie treat and sinfully rich. These bars have become a Wallace family Thanksgiving tradition. Brad’s mother always made them, and we would sneak them while waiting for dinner to start. We ruined our dinner time and time again, but hey, leftovers are the best part of Thanksgiving, anyway, right? I still make these every Thanksgiving.

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup smooth peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal*
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

*To make the recipe gluten free, be sure to use the Rice Krispies that are labeled "gluten free."

In large, heavy pot, cook sugar and corn syrup until boiling. Remove from heat and add peanut butter; stir until smooth. Add cereal and mix well. Press into greased 9x13-inch pan. In small saucepan, melt chocolate butterscotch chips and spread over top. Cool and cut into squares.
