Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by measuring 8 cups of Rice Chex cereal into a large paper bag or mixing bowl. Set it aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of butterscotch chips. Microwave on 50% power for 1–2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt ½ cup of salted butter in the microwave. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of imitation butter extract until fully combined. Pour into melted butterscotch and mix well.
  4. Pour the warm butterscotch mixture over the Rice Chex cereal. If using toffee bits, add 1 cup now. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  5. Spread the coated mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet in an even layer. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
  6. Once cooled, return the mixture to the paper bag, adding 1 cup of powdered sugar. Seal the bag and shake gently until all pieces are coated.
