Instructions

  • Lightly mist a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray, and line it with parchment paper, allowing excess to drape over the sides and act as a "handle" to pull the bars out later.
  • Sitr the honey and sugar together in a small pot over medium-low heat.
  • When the mixture comes to a boil, take it off the heat and stir in the peanut butter and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the puffed rice cereal, and stir together until well-combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it into an even layer.
  • Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together, stirring until smooth.*
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal mixture, then smooth it into an even layer.
  • Allow the topping to cool and set, then cut into bars and serve.

Notes

*This can be done over a double-boiler OR in the microwave, in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval.  For a softer, smoother topping, try stirring 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil into the melted chocolate mixture.
