Ingredients and Preparation
Rice krispies, peanut butter and butterscotch chips are the basic ingredients required to make the dish. Rice krispies are a type of crisped rice marketed by Kellog's, which are made using a rice-and-sugar paste, which is cooked in grain like shapes and then dried and toasted. They are responsible for the crunchiness and crispness of the dish.
The peanut butter and butterscotch chips are mixed and melted in a pot over low heat, taking care not to burn. When the mixture has melted, rice krispies are gradually stirred in, mixing well to coat thoroughly. The mixture is then spread on a foil lined baking tray and refrigerated to set. It is then cut into squares and is ready to serve.
Serving
