Scotcheroos

I was looking for this recipe in my email and decided to post it here to make it easier to find. I think these are way better than rice crispy treats. They are tasty and supposedly gluten-free. I'm not sure what is or isn't gluten-free, but I got this recipe from a co-worker who can't eat gluten. So either they don't have gluten or my coworker was cheating. They are yummy!

Ingredients
1 cup white Karo Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies (you can use Rice Chex too)
1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet your pick ... i use milk chocolate)
1 cup butterscotch chips
Combine Karo syrup and sugar in a pan. Dissolve and bring to a boil. Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal. Press into greased 9 x 13 pan. Melt the butterscotch and chocolate chips together then spread over the top.
Notes:
If you like it more peanut buttery you can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more of peanut butter.
I usually melt more chocolate and butterscotch chips because I like the top a little thicker
