  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups rice krispie cereal
Topping
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt together the sugar and corn syrup until it just begins to boil.
  2. Once it starts boiling, take it off the heat and add in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir gently until everything is smoothly combined.
  3. Pour this warm mixture over your Rice Krispies and stir gently to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to divide the mixture into 3-tablespoon portions. Let them set for about 5-10 minutes before flattening slightly.
Topping
  1. Melt the milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. Spoon the melted mixture over each cookie and spread it out evenly. Let the cookies cool until the chocolate sets.
