This is one of my favorite recipes from when I was a child. My great grandma, or as we would call her “Gram” would always make these simple, but delicious rice crispy treats. Our entire family loves them and to this day, every holiday we celebrate together must have Gram’s Rice Crispies.
Ingredients
1 - 6-oz Pkg (1 cup) Butterscotch-Flavored Morsels
½ Cup Peanut Butter
4 Cups Crisp Rice Cereal
1, 6-oz Pkg. (1 cup) Semi-sweet Chocolate Morsels
½ Cup Sifted Confectioners (Powdered) Sugar
1 Tbsp Margarine or Butter, Softened
1 Tbsp Water
Method
1. Make first layer: In a large saucepan over very low heat, melt butterscotch-flavored morsels with peanut butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Stir in cereal. Press half of this mixture into a buttered, 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan. Set other half of the mixture aside. Chill pan.
2. Make middle layer: In a medium-sized saucepan ½ filled with water heat water until hot but not boiling. Place a metal mixing bowl over the pot of hot water. Place semi-sweet chocolate morsels, sugar, margarine and water in the bowl and melt, stirring constantly until smooth. Spread the hot chocolate mixture over the chilled pan-full of cereal mixture.
3. Add top layer: Spread remaining cereal/butterscotch/peanut butter mixture over the top of the chocolate layer. Using a buttered spatula, press gently to smooth top layer. Chill until firm (about 1 hour.) Cut into 25, 1 ½ x 1 ½ squares. Or larger, if you need fewer pieces.
