Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the 6 cups of cereal; set aside.
Step 2
In a saucepot, add the sugar and karo syrup; bring to a boil. Turn heat to low after mixture reaches a boil. This is important. Bars will be hard as concrete if mixture continues to boil.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter to the sugar mixture. Stir until smooth and combined.
Step 4
Pour peanut butter mixture over the bowl of cereal and mix well.
Step 5
Add the mixture into a lightly buttered 13X9 inch pan, or a 9x9 pan for thicker bars. Pat the mixture into the pan.
Step 6
Topping:
Step 7
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave for about 2 minutes or until melted; stirring once or twice during melting.
Step 8
Pour and spread topping over top of cereal mixture. Refrigerate just long enough to set the chips. Remove, and cut into bars.
