4 steps

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies(R))
2 cups salted peanuts

Directions

1

Set up a double-boiler over low heat. Put baking sheets into freezer to cool them.
2

Combine 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cup butterscotch chips in the double-boiler and mix continuously until nearly melted, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butterscotch chips; continue to cook and stir until the chips are completely melted, about 10 minutes more. Fold rice cereal and salted peanuts into the melted chip mixture.
3

Remove baking sheets from freezer and cover each with a sheet of waxed paper. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and drop spoonfuls of it onto the waxed paper. Heap the cookies into tidy piles for visual appeal.
4

Put filled baking sheets into the fridge until the chocolate hardens, 15 to 20 minutes.
