*Spray 9x13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray, set aside. In a large saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until smoothly melted. Remove from heat. Add Rice Krispies and stir until thoroughly coated. Press into bottom of prepared dish. In microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. If necessary, microwave at additional 15 second intervals, stirring just until chips are melted. Spread over cereal mixture. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes or until topping is firm. Cut into bars for serving.

Just before being refrigerated.

I used chunky peanut butter this time, but you can use any peanut butter you like. I couldn't really tell there were nuts in there. I wanted the flavor and crunch of the nuts so the next time I made it with creamy peanut butter, I used 5 1/2 C of cereal and added a cup of peanuts. It turned out ok. They were a little crumbly. I think I prefer the original way better. These are an easy quick treat.
