Peanut Butter Butterscotch Bars are similar to Rice Krispie Treats, but coated in peanut butter and butterscotch. Ohhhh yummmm.

The recipe calls for only 5 ingredients and takes all of 15 minutes to make! These Peanut Butter Butterscotch Bars and other butterscotch bars are often made around Christmastime, but I love making these in the summer, too, because this is a no-bake recipe and very quick for when you’d rather spend your time outside than inside baking.

I love butterscotch, but I didn’t often choose to bake or eat butterscotch desserts until recently because they often contain artificial coloring. While some still do, I was happy to find Aldi brand butterscotch chips use natural coloring!

Recipe by Jenny, inspired by the many other butterscotch no-bake desserts out there :)
