How to make it

  1. Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a food processor, puree pitted dates until they form into a nice paste.

  3. In a large sauce pan, combine peanut butter, honey, coconut nectar, and date paste over medium heat. Stir until ingredients come together as a homogeneous mixture.

  4. Add in cereal flakes 1 cup at a time, stirring well until coated.

  5. Transfer into prepared pan, and spread evenly with a spatula.

  6. In a microwave safe bowl melt down chocolate chips.

  7. Spread in thin layer over cereal treats.

  8. In another small bowl melt down butterscotch treats. Spread in 4-5 thin lines across cereal base.

  9. Using a knife, draw thin lines perpendicular to chocolate lines, pulling the swirl stripe texture.

  10. Allow to sit for 3-4 hours, until chocolate hardens.

  11. Cut into 16 squares.
