Jones Family "Secret" Rice Krispy Treats

On my summer trip to Omaha one afternoon, we were sitting on the couch and my cousin begins describing this amazing thing her grandma has always done with rice krispy treats.  I realize she's describing my grandma's rice krispy treats.  ;)  Well, they are sisters afterall.  Turns out, we've both grown up eating these treats... So, it seemed only right that we make them this week.  I present the Jones Family "Secret" Rice Crispy Treats:


Ingredients:
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
6 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips 

Directions:
Bring the Karo syrup and sugar to a slight boil in large sauce pan (too much boiling makes them stiff and hard to eat).  Remove from heat and add peanut butter and mix well.  Add Rice Krispies and mix well.  Spread in 9x13 (we just did two 8x8).  Melt semi-sweet chips and butterscotch chips in the microwave and spread over the bars. Refrigerate (or freeze if you're impatient) until cool. Once they are "set" they can be stored room temp.  Or if you're like our grandmas, you can freeze and pull them out when family comes over or for holidays.  ;)
