Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.

Combine and Coat: Drizzle the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until it is all coated.
