Butterscotch Bars



I love these bars and so do Isaac's co-workers. One of them actually called me and begged me over the phone to make these and send them to work with Isaac. They are a huge hit and easy to make, just make sure you plan ahead. They require time to sit and set - you can't just stick them in the freezer and hope they set faster (they don't and your likely to chip a tooth). I got this recipe from Karli and it's one of my favorites.

Butterscotch Bars
1 C. sugar

1 C. light Caro syrup

1 C. peanut butter

6 C. rice crispies

1 1/2 C. chocolate chips

1 1/2 C. butterscotch chips

Combine sugar and caro syrup. Heat on the stovetop over medium until blended. Add peanut butter while still hot and mix. Press into 9X13 pan (lightly grease). Melt chips and pour on top. Sit to set (4-5 hours).

*Cute to make into Popsicles for a birthday or special occasion (although much more time consuming). To make Popsicles, buy sticks at Michaels or specialty store. Let rice crispy mixture sit for about an hour in the bowl and then begin to form into balls, and stick sticks into the balls. Let sit for an hour to form. Then dip individual balls into melted chocolate (also take out the sticks, dip in chocolate and put back into balls). Let sit on wax paper and add sprinkles if you want.
