Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large mixing bowl, add marshmallows, milk chocolate morsels and baking chocolate. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring to a boil the sugar, cream and butter (over medium high heat). Once boiling, continue to boil for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Pour hot mixture over marshmallows and chocolate. Using an electric mixer, beat until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth (about 2 minutes).
Melt butterscotch and peanut butter morsels together in microwave bowl for one minute. Stir and heat at 30 second intervals until fully melted. (Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each increment, to prevent seizing.)
In a large bowl, combine rice cereal, melted butterscotch and about 1/3 of the chocolate mixture. Mix completely.
In a parchment paper lined 13x9 baking dish, pour 1/3 of chocolate mixture onto bottom, spreading with a knife until bottom of dish is covered. Top with cereal mixture. Press firmly. Pour remaining 1/3 of chocolate mixture over cereal, spreading with a knife.
Allow to set up in refrigerator, about 1-2 hours. Remove and cut into bite sized pieces. ENJOY!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator where they keep well for about 5-7 days. Freezing is possible, but thawing may affect the crispiness of the center.
