For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can substitute with white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips. To prevent the cereal from becoming soggy, work quickly when mixing it with the peanut butter mixture. For easier cutting, let the bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes after chilling.
