Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups (205g) Rice Krispies (or any puffed rice cereal)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (340g) corn syrup
  • 1 1/3 cup (300g) peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cup (200g) semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cup (200g) butterscotch chips

Decoration

  • 1/2 cup (80g) white chocolate chips
  • 30 candy eyes

Instructions
 

  • Line or spray a 9x13 baking pan. Set aside. Pour the rice krispies into a large heat proof bowl, set aside.
  • In a large pot, add the sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Heat over a medium low heat while stirring every 30 seconds or so. Heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and pour over rice krispies.
  • Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the peanut butter mixture gently into the rice krispies until combined. Then pour the rice krispies into the 9x13 pan.
  • Press the mixture down gently so it's flat and even in the pan. DON'T press down too hard or you'll make the ghosteroos tough and hard to bite.
  • In a heatproof bowl, add the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Pour over the rice krispies and use a spoon or spatula to spread evenly around.
  • In a different small heatproof bowl, melt your white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between. Add them to a piping bag or disposable bag and pipe little blobs on top of the chocolate before it sets.
  • Take a toothpick and pull gently down on the bottom of each blob to make a little tail. (*See notes for monsters) Then add 2 eyes to each ghost and allow everything to fully cool for a few hours or pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

*If you'd like to make monsters instead, using a toothpick, pull little arms out of the sides of each blob instead of a tail. Add 1, 2 or 3 candy eyes to each monster.
