Oh Becca! Bars

Trust me, you'll be screaming my name when you eat these little squares. Seriously. They are so good. I got the recipe from Becky Higgin's, who got it from her friend who got it from someone's Grandma...anyway. Sherri & Kimber make something similar and call them "Scotcharoos" and my brother's girlfriend Nanette makes something similar and calls them "O'Henry Bars". You call 'em whatever you want.

1 c. Karo syrup
1 c. sugar
1 c. peanuts (I got salted and I don't chop them)
1 c. peanut butter
3 c. Rice Krispies
1 pkg. (6 oz) chocolate chips
1 pkg. (6 oz) butterscotch chips

Stir together Karo syrup and sugar. Microwave for 2 minutes. Add peanuts and peanut butter to the Karo mixture. Microwave everything for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of Rice Krispies. Spread into a greased 9" x 13" pan.

Combine chocolate chips (on bottom) and butterscotch chips in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Spread over krispie mixture and cool in the refrigerator.

Remove and cut into 1-inch squares.
