• servings: 24 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 1/4 c. honey

3/4 c. light brown sugar

1 1/4 c. creamy peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

6 c. crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies

Cooking spray

1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 c. butterscotch chips

1 tbsp. coconut oil

Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat the honey and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not boil. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla.

To a large bowl, add the cereal. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir the mixture until well coated.

Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with cooking spray until well coated. Evenly press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan.

In a large measuring cup or microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture at 50% power in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir the mixture until well combined and fully melted.

Pour the mixture over the cereal, spreading it until even. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate the bars until firm, at least 30 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!
