I made this recipe for a potluck at work and I found that you need a LOT more than 2 cups rice crispies. I put 4 cups, and that worked. I also put the butterscotch chips, the butter (*note - I used I can't believe it's not butter and it turned out good) and the peanut butter all in a bowl in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Worked great. I think with these alterations this is a great recipe to make for that special relative with the sweet tooth!

We tried it (my wife and I), then gave some to my inlaws, then brought the remainder to work. . .overall its just too much. . .so much so that it's actually disgusting.

Great recipe! I have been looking for this for a few years- they are very sweet, and ADDICTIVE. I first used 5 cups of cereal and that was a little too much- I just made them again and used 4 cups this time and they are PERFECT!

I tried this recipe and it turned out hard as a rock. Almost like peanut brittle. Followed the directions to a tee. May try one more time later.

I had tried these for years at parties and always forgot to get a recipe. They were great and everyone at work gobbled them up:) I even tried them with kelogg's Total cereal (that's all I had) and it was super! I also added more than the alloted 2cups of chips. Yeah baby! note: please rinse after consumption to reduce risk of getting a cavity :)

There is nothing wrong with this recipe!First of all..of course it is sweet! Look at the ingredients..butterscotch and peanut butter make one of the sweetest combinations known to mankind! This is not an everyday snack-it is a treat. The easist no fail way to prepare is put it the chips, butter and peanut butter all in the same bowl and microwave it for 1 min...then stir until all the chips have melted. Your butter and peanut butter wont seperate and it will turn out great!

Just like my grandma used to make! They are very rich. Cut them small and serve them as a dessert, not a snack like regular Rice Krispie bars. They go great with tea.

This is a great recipe but instead of rice cereal I add 1/4 cup salted crushed peanuts. I've never had anyone complain and kids love to take a rolling pin to a zipper bag of salted peanuts. I also make this over a double boiler but will try the microwave instructions next time. Because I have found in the past if the stove is on too high the oil in the peanut butter separates.

I really don't like them. My husband seems to think that if I dipped them in chocolate it would taste like a whatchamacallit candy bar. The butter seperated from the rest and made them all greasy on the bottom. I also didn't think they were sweet at all. Maybe I added too much cereal, but it looked entirely too wet (the seperated butter) that I didn't think they would set up. I don't think I will try this again, sorry.
