Family favorite. Sent to many for college finals weeks. 5/92 Allen's preschool early b'day party; 9/92 Eli's preschool 9/94 - Eli's kindergarten; 2/95 Alleghany Cross Country Ski trip; 5/07 sent to Allen at Cornell. These are as good as candy bars.
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
6 oz pkg butterscotch chips - don't get off brand, because they don't melt properly.
6 oz pkg chocolate chips
You can double up on the chips, and no one complains.
In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and sugar over low heat, until boiling. Remove from heat. If you over heat at this point, your result will be very hard, crunchy bars instead of chewy bars, so be careful. Add peanut butter. Put rice krispies in a large bowl, and pour the sauce over them, mixing well. Spread into a grease 9x13" pan. Even better, line it with parchment paper and spray with Pam.
In a glass or ceramic bowl, melt chips in the microwave and mix together. Spread over the pan like frosting. Let cool. Cut into bars. I take it out of the pan and put it on a large chopping board. Then I use a giant knife to cut it so I can put my hand on the back of the blade and push down, rocking the knife back and forth. If you cut the first bunch very near the short end of the block, you'll have ones that are too small to serve, so you get to eat those.
