Directions
- 1Add sugar and corn syrup to a medium-sized pot.
- 2Heat the sugar and corn syrup mixture on medium to medium-low heat until it comes just to a boil.
- 3Stir the sugar mixture frequently while it is coming to a boil, ensuring all sugar crystals melt into the corn syrup for a glossy consistency.
- 4Measure out the cereal into a large mixing bowl while the sugar mixture is cooking.
- 5Keep an eye on the sugar mixture and stir it every once in a while.
- 6Measure out the peanut butter while the sugars are still cooking.
- 7Once the sugar and corn syrup mixture just comes to a boil, remove it from the heat.
- 8Add the peanut butter to the hot sugar and corn syrup mixture.
- 9Stir the peanut butter into the sugar and corn syrup mixture until it is all combined and has a nice glossy peanut butter consistency.
- 10Pour the peanut butter mixture over all of the cereal in the mixing bowl.
- 11Mix the cereal and peanut butter mixture together until all of the cereal is coated, with no dry cereal and no clumps of the peanut butter mixture.
- 12Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- 13Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared baking pan.
- 14Spread the cereal mixture out evenly in the pan.
- 15Add butterscotch chips and chocolate chips to a pot.
- 16Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips on low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- 17Once the chocolate and butterscotch chips are melted and combined, pour the mixture over the cereal bars.
- 18Spread the chocolate-butterscotch topping evenly over the bars.
- 19Allow the chocolate to cool and set.
- 20Pull the cooled bars out of the pan using the parchment paper.
- 21Cut the bars into desired sizes.

Tips
- If you don't like butterscotch, you can omit the butterscotch chips and double up on the chocolate chips.
- Do not boil the sugar and corn syrup mixture for too long, as it will make the bars hard instead of chewy.
- Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips on low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning.
