A treat recipe you’ve got to try! Butterscotch Rice Krispie Squares combine two of my favourite childhood treats into one delicious square.
Butterscotch Rice Krispie Squares combine creamy, smooth peanut butter, butterscotch chips and marshmallows. Your favorite childhood treat just got a whole lot tastier! The butterscotch and peanut butter layer is similar to the combination I use in one of my most addictive squares Butterscotch Confetti Squares.
