Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Stir peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup together in large saucepan.
1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from heat.
Add cereal; stir until thoroughly coated.
6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
Press onto bottom of prepared baking pan.
Microwave butterscotch morsels and semi-sweet chocolate morsels in large microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute.
11 ounce package butterscotch morsels, 11 ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
Stir. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
Spread over cereal mixture.
Chill for 15- 20 minutes or until topping is firm. Cut into bars.

Peanut butter: I don't recommend using natural peanut butter in this recipe. Regular creamy peanut butter works well.

Corn syrup: Corn syrup helps to make the bars chewy and keep the sugar from crystalizing.

Cereal: Scotcheroos are traditionally made with Rice Krispie cereal, but there's no reason why you couldn't use a different type of cereal if you prefer.
