SPECIAL K BARS

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.

SPECIAL K BARS

Steps:

• 1. Place the sugar, syrup and butter in a heavy bottom pan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil one minute. Remove from heat.
• 2. Add peanut butter stir until melted and well blended.
• 3. Add the cereal and stir until cereal is well coated. ( If you want smaller pieces of corn flakes just crush them a bit with your hands before adding to the peanut butter mix). I think corn flakes taste better than Special K cereal. Use what you have on hand, I have used rice krispies and that works well too.
• 4. Place in a buttered 9x13 pan.
• 5. Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips in the microwave or in a double boiler. Watch carefully if using the microwave, start with a minute and stop to stir every 15 minutes until chips are melted and smooth when you stir them. Spread over the bars. Place in fridge to set the chocolate. Cut and enjoy.
