Recipe by teapotter

Had these at a wedding shower and they were so yummy! My friend said she clipped this recipe from a Kraft advertisement that appeared in a magazine about 30 years ago. She uses rice krisp cereal so not sure what it would be like with a toasted oat cereal.

Nutrition

1

(14 ounce) bag caramels
3

tablespoons water
5

cups crisp rice cereal or 5 cups toasted oat cereal
1

cup peanuts
1

cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1

cup butterscotch chips

DIRECTIONS

Melt caramels with water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently till caramels are melted and sauce is smooth.
Toss cereal and peanuts together in a bowl. Pour the melted caramel sauce over the mixture and toss until well coated.
With buttered fingers, press the mixture into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle chocolate and butterscotch chips on top and place in a 200F oven for about 5 minutes or until chips are softened. Spread the softened chips to blend slightly and form a frosting over the top. Cool and cut into bars. Cut into 30 bars or in sizes as desired.
