Shopping list:
Rice Krispies, unsalted peanuts, peanut butter, light Karo syrup, white sugar, milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips & butterscotch chips.
First step is to butter a 9x13 dish. My adorable little helper wanted to be sure to have her picture in the write up this time!
Now melt some of the semi-sweet chips together with the milk chips. I just do this in the microwave.
Spread this mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan & then go find something to do for the next half hour or so. You can't move on until this is mostly set.
Once that's not a gooey mess anymore go ahead & move on to the next step - the crispy, chewy, sweet, salty, magical middle!
Melt the sugar & Karo together in a pot over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Then remove it from the heat & stir in the peanut butter until it's all melted in. Add the nuts & cereal & stir until well combined.
Spread this mixture over the cooled chocolate.
Now we're gonna move on to the top!
Melt the rest of your semi-sweet chips with your butterscotch chips.
Spread that on top of the cereal layer.
Then just stick it out on the counter top to let it all cool down & firm up together. Maybe 2 hours...? Ish? Then cut them into small squares. About a 1-inch square is a good size for these. Perfect little 2-bite treats! You don't need them to be big, like a Rice Krispy treat.
Mmmmmm.. My FAVORITE Christmas tradition!
Enjoy!
