Got a Craving, for Something Sweet...

The other day I got a craving for something sweet.  Mom's Rice Krispy Treats.  These aren't the typical marshmallow treats.  In fact, I hate marshmallow treats after growing up eating these... filled with butterscotch and chocolate, melt in your mouth goodness!  Since I have been good about going to the gym and eating healthy, I decided to give into my craving and make them!
Mom's Rice Krispy Treats





8 cups of Rice Krispies
12 oz of chocolate chip
12 oz of butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter and butterscotch chips in pan stirring constantly on low heat, when melted mix with rice krispies and pour ½ of the mix in a buttered 9x13 pan.  Put in refrigerator until hard. About 30 minutes. Then melt chocolate chips, water and sugar in pan stirring constantly on low heat.  Pour all of the melted chocolate mixture in over the rice krispies, spread evenly.  Top with remaining ½ of the krispies. Refrigerate. 


Growing up, these were always on our holiday menus. These are the best rice krispy treats ever! Perfect for my sweet cravings!

    I'm trying my hand at doing a link party of sorts too and would love it if you'd share one of your favorite recipes of the week, like these rice krispie treats.

    The butterscotch krispies are my favorite but I never thought about doing a chocolate layer. Thanks for the idea!
