Butterscotch Butterfinger Rice Krispies Treats

I am a Scotcheroo fanatic. I think peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate is possibly the best flavor combination in the world. It’s sort of revived my love for PB + chocolate. After nearly 5 years of dessert blogging, I’ve been a little burnt out on the peanut butter chocolate circuit for a little while. But I’ve rediscovered the addition of butterscotch this year, and it’s rekindled my love for the classic duo (well, now a trio)!

Most recently I’ve made Scotcheroo Banana Bread and Scotcheroo Muddy Buddies. They’re killer, so be sure to click over and check those babies out.

Today’s recipe is a little closer to a traditional Scotcheroo in that it’s a bar. But these aren’t just any ol’ scotcheroo bars. These are rice krispie treats teeming with with gooey marshmallow, peanut butter, butterscotch, and best of all– big, fat, Butterfinger pieces!

Ingredients

• 10 ounces miniature marshmallows
• 5 cups rice krispies cereal
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/2 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars*
• 1/4 cup melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

1. Place the marshmallows, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Mix well until everything is melted and smooth.
2. Use a large rubber spatula to mix in the cereal. Add the Butterfinger candy pieces (it's ok if the chocolate melts a little, but try to stir as little as possible to keep it from melting completely).
3. Scrape the mixture into a parchment lined or well greased 8x8 baking dish. Gently press flat.
4. Drizzle melted chocolate over top. Let chocolate cool completely and harden before cutting into squares to serve.
