Dry ingredients
2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup dates, chopped or 1/2 cup any dried fruit
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped or 1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup sweetened coconut
Sugar mixture
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tablespoon molasses (optional)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Final addition
1/2 cup butterscotch chips or 1/2 cup chocolate chips

1
Prepare a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
2
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients so they are ready for the hot sugar mixture.
3
In a sauce pan, make sugar mixture. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and optional molasses; bring to a full boil and allow to boil 1 MINUTE. Turn down heat and add peanut butter and vanilla, stirring quickly until smooth.
4
Work quickly - pour the hot sugar mixture over dry ingredients and use two wooden spoons to thoroughly combine ingredients. Stir in chips LAST so they don't melt in the hot mixture.
5
Press mixture very firmly into prepared pan. Keep pressing down until your bars are dense in order to keep them from crumbling later when you cut them.
6
When cool, use a sharp knife to cut into 18 bars (1 cut lengthwise and then 9 cuts across).
