Description

This no-bake "Rice Bread" is a nostalgic, sweet-and-salty treat that combines the crunch of Rice Krispies with the rich creaminess of peanut butter and butterscotch. Perfect for potlucks, school lunches, or a quick dessert, it requires no oven time and comes together in minutes. The mixture is pressed into a pan and topped with a melted butterscotch glaze for an extra layer of flavor. It&# 226;€™s a versatile recipe that can be easily doubled for larger gatherings. Store in the refrigerator to keep the bars firm and delicious for days.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and half of the butterscotch chips.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  3. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  4. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the remaining butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Spread the melted butterscotch evenly over the top of the cereal mixture.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set before cutting into squares.

Note

Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The bars will become firmer as they chill.

Substitutions: You can use chocolate chips instead of butterscotch if preferred. For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.

Variations: This recipe scales well. Double the ingredients and press into a jelly roll pan for thinner bars, or triple for a large party tray.

Tip: Ensure the peanut butter mixture is sufficiently melted and bubbly before adding the cereal to ensure the bars hold together when cut.
