BUTTERSCOTCH RICE KRISPIES® BARS
This is what I grew up with in lieu of 'scotcheroos'. They are simpler to make and pack a much richer flavor which means when I bite into similar recipes (hoping for this flavor), I am disappointed and want my homemade version!

Steps:
- Grease bottom and the lower 1 inch of the sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Pour cereal into the prepared dish.
- Mix butterscotch chips and peanut butter together in a bowl and melt in a microwave oven, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; pour over cereal and stir until cereal is coated. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to compact mixture into the dish.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Spread over the top of the bars with a spatula.
- Refrigerate bars again until the chocolate is firmed, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Before you start, lightly grease a 12 x 18 inch sheetcake pan and spatula, this will keep the marshmallows from sticking.
- Set a medium or large sized pot on the stove, and turn the stove on to medium - high.
- Add butter to the pot.
- Let the butter melt a little bit, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan so the marshmallows don't stick.
- Add marshmallows to the pot.
- Stir butter and marshmallows together in the pot with the spatula for about 3 minutes, you want to keep stirring constantly to make sure the mixture melts evenly and throughout.
- Add the butterscotch morsels and stir again for about another 2 minutes, or until the butter and marshmallows turn into a fluffy "goo", and the butterscotch is mixed evenly throughout.
- (These last few steps you will want to do very quickly, before the marshmallow mixture cools).
- Turn off the stove and mix the rice krispies into the marshmallow mixture.
- Add the mixture into the pan, and spread out evenly with the spatula.
- Let cool for about 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, with a knife, slice the rice krispie into small rectangles, about 2 x 3in, and ENJOY!
- For leftovers, keep the treats in the pan and cover the pan with saran wrap or foil.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Stale marshmallows or rice krispies will make for a less than ideal bar.
- Don't overcook the butter and sugar mixture. It should be golden brown, but not burnt.
- Be careful not to overmix the rice krispies and marshmallow mixture. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Press the rice krispies and marshmallow mixture firmly into the pan. This will help to keep the bars from crumbling.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
