1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar

Remove the saucepan from heat immediately and whisk in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. For an alternative method, this step can be done in the microwave. Use a microwave-safe bowl, heating the mixture in 20-30 second intervals and stirring in between until the sugar is fully dissolved into the corn syrup.
Combine with Cereal:
Pour the peanut butter and sugar mixture over the puffed rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir quickly and thoroughly to ensure the cereal is evenly coated before the mixture cools and stiffens.
Form the Base:
Press the cereal mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 9×13 inch casserole dish. Ensure an even layer for the best results.
Melt the Topping:
In a double boiler or using the microwave, melt the milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together. If using the microwave, heat in 20-30 second increments, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
