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!
Very good. I didn’t find them too sweet at all. I did add more rice crispies to mine though – probably another 1 1/2 cups. The only thing I can say is that they seem a bit crumbly but mine have only been chilling for about 35 min. before I had to try one. Great recipe if you’re a butterscotch fan!
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.
Recipe is very good overall. I used marshmallow fluff to avoid the added cornstarch in mini marshmallows (about 7 oz). Definitely needs more rice krispies. I used a little more than 4 cups and still didn’t think it was enough. Also if your a peanut butter lover I would add more peanut butter.
YUM, these were great! I also used 4 cups of Rice Krispies and used snowman marshmallows for the holidays. I melted the chips, butter, and PB in the microwave together as well, this was so easy and they were a big hit! They are really sweet, but that’s what makes them wonderful!

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 don’t understand why people are melting the marshmallows or using marshmallow fluff. The marshmallows are supposed to be whole, coated with the peanut butter/butterscotch mixture, and have that pretty marshmallow chunk look when they’re sliced. They are not rice krispie squares per se; they are peanut butter and butterscotch squares with chunks of marshmallow and flecks of rice krispies. And, they’re spectacular.
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 🙂
I made this last Halloween and have had several requests/expectations that it will be at our party this year. The one thing I did last year to help it stick all together better was melt some semi-sweet choc. chips and drizzle and spead it over the top. It added a wonderful something extra. So, so rich and yummy. If you like butterscotch, you’ll love these!
Do NOT melt the marshmallows, folks!! They are supposed to be all colorful and yummy. The butter, peanut butter, and chips are melted. Then you add the marshmallows and cereal. They are meant to be whole and delicious. I’ve also had this many times w/o the cereal. It is a fun treat. Just do not make them like rice krispie bars — the submitter did not mean for them to be melted — see the description in step 2. Look at the pic for Rocky Road drops by adellois and you’ll better be able to picture what this is like! Now, yes, you can get crazy creative and add many things to the colored marshmallows– like different cereals, M&Ms, choco mini chips, some white choco chips…. This treat is a classic. Maybe some of you need to see some other pictures to see how this is to look. It cuts through lovely and is fun to have all of the colors showing from the marshmallows! We always have made it in a buttered 9×13 (w/o rice cereal, 9×9) dish, and cooled it to get it to set. Enjoy!!
