Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups Special K cereal
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
One 16-oz jar room temperature peanut butter*
butter (for greasing the pan and bowl)
1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
1½ cups butterscotch chips
flaky sea salt (for topping (optional))

Steps:

  • Grease a large bowl with butter and place the Special K in the bowl.
  • Grease a 9x13 or 8x11 baking dish. The 9x13 will make thinner bars, the 8x11 bars will be thicker (as pictured).
  • Place sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture stirring occasionally, until the edges start to bubble. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter.
  • Working quickly (before the mixture cools), pour the peanut butter mixture over the Special K and stir until combined. Scoop into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Proceed with the frosting.
  • Place chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the bowl of a double boiler. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Note: make sure the boiling water is not touching the bottom of your bowl, only the steam.
  • Immediately pour the frosting over the bars and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow several hours for the frosting to firm up, then cut and serve.

I got this recipe back in the 70's from a friend whom I worked with. It is a simple and delicious bar to make.

Provided by Olive

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 20-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Spread over top of cereal mixture. Refrigerate just long enough to set the chips.
  • Remove, and cut into bars.
