Peanut Butter Chex Patties

Do you love peanut butter? Do you love scotcharoos? Do you love desserts?
Ok. Good.

I started making this recipe the other night and ran out of peanut butter when it came time to top my patties and I said, the heck with it, these babies are delicious even without chocolate! Crazy, I know!
I will however give you the instructions to make the chocolate topping!

My only disclaimer is to make sure you have patience when it comes to this recipe because the main step takes a few mins of waiting around, stirring, waiting around, stirring... well you get the point!

Most of the ingredients I had at home but if you don't bake a lot, these are easy to find at a grocery store because many times the isle are right next to each other! :)

Simple Ingredients:
**Not pictured- Peanut Butter b/c I used fresh grounded**Store bought is just as awesome!

6 Cups of Chex Cereal

1 Cup light corn syrup

1 cup sugar

2 cups of peanut butter (1/2 cup used for topping)

2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (topping)

2 cups butterscotch chips (topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla (topping)

Step One:
Butter mixing bowl, add chex cereal to bowl and set aside.
In a small pan combine and melt corn syrup and sugar. Make sure to stir occasionally and remove promptly once it comes to a boil.

Step Two: 

Add 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter to syrup and mix until combined. Pour over cereal and fold until all cereal is covered.

Step Three:
Place parchment paper onto baking sheet or lightly grease. Form cereal into small balls and lay flat. They will start to take their own shape when they cool but this is OK!! Allow to cool for about 30 mins and ENJOY.... or move to making the chocolate topping!

Topping:
In a microwave safe bowl, combine 1/2 peanut butter, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and vanilla. Place into the microwave and stir every 10 seconds to avoid burning the chocolate!

Scoop or pour onto patties, let cool and as always...ENJOY!!
