    In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the remaining butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely melted and smooth.

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.
