Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for a delightful texture. If you don't have Club crackers, any salty cracker will work as a substitute. When melting the chocolate and butterscotch chips, do so in short intervals to avoid burning. This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips based on your preference. Each type will give a unique flavor to the bars, so experiment to find your favorite combination.
How can I make these bars more decadent?
To make these bars even richer, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the peanut butter mixture before spreading it over the crackers. You could also drizzle melted chocolate on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Is there a way to make these bars healthier?
To create a healthier version, you can substitute the white sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Additionally, using natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils can help reduce the overall sweetness while keeping the flavor intact.
