Ingredients

6 cups Crispix cereal
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 ½-1/3 cups peanut butter, divided
11.5 oz semi-sweet and/or milk chocolate chips
11 oz butterscotch chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Line a 13”x9” pan with plastic wrap.
In a large skillet on medium-high heat, stir together and bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, and stir 1 ½ cups of the peanut butter until well combined. Gently fold the cereal into the mixture until coated well.
Transfer the cereal base into the prepared pan and flatten in an even layer.
Combine chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, ⅓ cup peanut butter and vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring every 30-45 seconds, until melted and smooth. Pour over the cereal layer and spread evenly.
Decorate with sprinkles or crushed candy. Refrigerate at least an hour before removing from the pan and cutting into squares.
