Butterscotch Rice Krispie Squares

April 3, 2016 by Laureen King 2 Comments

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

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.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 1 bag (250g) miniature marshmallows or 40 large
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 package (10oz) butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • In small sauce pan melt 1/4 cup butter and peanut butter over medium heat.
  • Add butterscotch chips stirring continuously until melted.
  • Do not boil or overcook as mixture will become grainy.
  • Keep warm while you prepare rice krispies.
  • Place 1/4 cup butter in large microwavable bowl and heat just until melted.
  • Stir in marshmallows, heat until marshmallows are melted. (1-2 minutes)
  • Stir in vanilla, then add rice krispies. Combine well.
  • Place 1/2 the rice krispie mixture into buttered 9x9 baking pan. Press down.
  • Spread butterscotch mixture evenly over rice krispie layer.
  • Top with remaining half of rice krispies, spreading evenly.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set.

Notes

*this recipe does require working quickly so rice krispie and butterscotch layers don't set and harden before assembled.
