These no-bake chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispie bars were my absolute favorite treat growing up. When I knew we'd be in Sacramento for the weekend, I asked my mom to make them.
The recipe, from an old church cookbook, has definitely stood the test of time and I wanted to share it here.
You'll need:
- 1 C brown sugar
- 1/2 C white Karo syrup
- 1 T butter
- 1/2 C peanut butter
- 4 C Rice Krispies
- 1/2 package (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 package (6 oz) butterscotch chips
In a large sauce pan, melt the brown sugar, syrup and butter. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Add the Rice Krispies and stir well.
Spread the mixture into a buttered cookie sheet (ideally with a small rim).
In the same pot, melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips until smooth. Spread over bars. Stick in the fridge until they've hardened a bit and cut into squares.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks, Mom!
