Scotch-a-Roos

Here's the recipe for the Rice Krispy treat that's made without marshmallows and is frosted with melted chocolate and butterscotch chips.  It is TO DIE FOR and so easy to make.  

SCOTCH-A-ROOS
 
Adapted from Rick Fox
 Time: 30 minutes
 
 1 cup Karo syrup
 1 cup sugar
 1 cup peanut butter
 5 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
 6 ounces butterscotch chips.
 
 1. Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a boil over low heat.
 2. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and the Rice Krispies.
 3. Spread evenly into 9-by-12-inch cake pan. Do not press down.
 4. Melt milk chocolate and butterscotch chips together over low heat (or in a double boiler).
 5. Spread melted chips over top and let cool. Cut in squares and serve.
 
 Yield: About 24 servings. (Although, seriously, if you don't cut this into about 40 pieces, you will have to serve insulin alongside each piece.  It is that sweet.)
