Special K Bars

6 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Karo syrup
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
  • 6 cups Special K cereal
  • 1 (6 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and Karo syrup; microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove after sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. This is important. Bars will be hard as concrete if mixture continues to boil.
  2. 2
    Remove bowl from microwave; add crunchy peanut butter to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in the Special K cereal and mix well.
  3. 3
    Pat the mixture firmly into a lightly buttered 13X9 inch pan. Using a lightly buttered or greased piece of waxed paper works great for patting down the mixture.(To make thicker bars -- use a 9x9 pan).
  4. 4
    In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips and microwave for about 3-4 minutes until melted; stirring once or twice during melting.
  5. 5
    Spread over top of cereal mixture. Refrigerate just long enough to set the chips.
  6. 6
    Remove, and cut into bars.
