Wonderful fruit salsa mixture. The tomatoes must be seeded otherwise the mixture will become excessively wet. This never has any leftovers because it appears to be appealing to all tastes.

These are a wonderful nostalgic treat! Perfect for those days when you want a sweet treat that reminds you of your childhood! With that said, these are fairly sweet–adding a good bit of salt to the peanut butter mixture (along with some vanilla and almond extracts) goes a long way in helping that. Other than halving this recipe, and making it in an 8×8 inch square pan lined with parchment paper, I followed the recipe exactly. I think next time I may try dark chocolate chips for the topping to help balance the sweetness. This a lovely recipe, thank you for sharing it!
Delicious! I reduced the sugar and corn syrup by 1/8c. each and 1/2 c. each of the chips. When melted it was plenty to cover the top. Then sprinkled kosher salt on top of the chocolate. It helps with all the sweetness.
My Mother made these our entire childhood growing up at Christmas, they are a crowd favorite!!!
Everyone in my family loves these, super easy to make. Can’t eat too many because they are rich.
My childhood favorite! It’s always a hit and few know of it on the west coast. 🙂
this is before the refrigerator! you should keep it in the refrigerator overnight and then let it sit the next day in room temperature
Delicious
What’s not to love about this wonderful blend of flavors? It’s also a great holiday treat to have hanging around!!
My family has been making this for many years. I used peanut butter chips instead of butterscotch chips, and it still tasted great!
I’ve made this twice, the first time it overly sweet and flat. This time I added 1/8 tsp or so of salt to the peanut butter mixture before adding the Rice Krispies and it really balanced out the sweetness and brought the peanut butter flavor forward.
Loved the taste and not a lot of sugar
Very good. Full of flavors you keep going back for. Used a piece of wax paper to press into pan.
I Make these a lot. The whole family loves them!
Wonderful classic! i recommendation: use a larger pan because the specified saucepan makes it difficult to mix in the Rice Crispies!
Made it as is…barely let it come to a boil. Didn’t pack it in the pan and they were PERFECT! The boyfriend even told me “you better keep that recipe”!
I added a wee bit of vanilla.
I will definitely make these again. Everyone in my family loved them.
I made this recipe. because I wanted to use up Rice Krispies and chocolate chips from the holidays. I doubled the chocolate chips since I didn’t have any butterscotch chips The whole family loved these bars.
Love these, have made them many times.
it was the best thing i ever had
I add the butterscotch chips to the mix before putting it in the buttered pan.
