Chocolate Scotcheroos

I'm always searching my office for this recipe so I thought I would put it here where it would be much easier to find.

Prep time: 20 min.
Yield: 48 bars
Servings: 24
Ingredients:
1 Cup light corn syrup
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup peanut butter
6 Cups Rice crispies
2 Cup milk chocolate morsels
1/2 Cup heath toffee chips

Cook corn syrup and sugar in saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Mix well. Add Rice Krispies. Stir until well coated. Press mixture into 13x9x2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Set aside.

Melt chocolate in microwave (takes 1-11/2 minutes). Stir in Heath Toffee chips. Spread over cereal mixture. Let stand until firm.

(Most people use butterscotch chips instead of toffee chips but I thought that was too sweet so I doubled the amount of chocolate chips and use the toffee chips for a nice crunch.)
