O Henry Bars
Here is a quick, but great dessert! Better yet, it requires no oven!
1 C peanut butter
1 C white karo syrup
1 C white sugar
5 C rice krispies cereal
6 oz. butterscotch chips and chocolate chips, each
Bring the syrup and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, and add the peanut butter. Mix all thoroughly. Add the 5 cups of rice krispies to the peanut butter mixture. Spread evenly in a 9x13 pan. ( I grease the pan lightly.) In a double boiler, or the microwave (my choice), melt the two different types of chips. When thoroughly melted, spread on top of the rice krispie mixture in the pan. Let set, and enjoy!
