I love this yummy spin on Rice Krispie treats!  O Henry Bars are a family favorite, and they incorporate a delightful mix of peanut butter, chocolate, and a hint of butterscotch. I have a little boy named Henry, and he is especially excited that there is a treat named after him.  :)

I love bars–they wrap up so easily and are perfect for school lunches, picnics, trips to the park, and BBQ’s.  They’re popular with kids and adults alike, so you know they’re sure to please! 

Rice Krispies are combined with peanut butter and a few other ingredients to create a delicious base for the chocolate & butterscotch topping.  If you’ve never had butterscotch and chocolate together, it’s definitely worth a try.  The rich, mellow butterscotch flavor melds so nicely with the chocolate, and is the perfect match for the yummy bars on the bottom! 

ENJOY!!!
