Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Butterscotch Chocolate Rice Krispies Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by greasing the bottom and the lower inch of the sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a generous pat of butter.

   Next, pour the crispy rice cereal into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly to create a solid base for your treats.

4. Step 4

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter.

5. Step 5

   Pop it in the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the mixture is smooth and well blended—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, allowing it to firm up nicely.

10. Step 10

    While you wait, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in another microwave-safe bowl, again using 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth—this should take about 1 to 3 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power.

    Once melted, spread the silky chocolate evenly over the top of your cooled cereal mixture with a spatula, creating a beautiful, glossy finish.
