Special K Bars


These are actually "corn flake" bars...every time I make these it seems I have corn flakes instead....they work just the same :)

1 cup sugar
1 cup light Karo Syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Special "K" Cereal (cornflakes work, too)
4-6 oz chocolate chips
4-6 oz butterscotch chips

Butter a 9x13 pan. Mix sugar and Karo Syrup in a large mixing bowl. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes, stir then microwave for another 2 minutes. Immediately mix in peanut butter. Slowly mix in Special "K" cereal. Once mixed very well so all cereal is coated, spread in the bottom of your pan. In a separate small bowl, mix chocolate and butterscotch chips. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, stir then microwave for an additional minute (continue in 1 minute increments until the mixture is melted). Pour mixture over Special "K" evenly. Chill in refrigerator for 2-4 hours. If you chill it, you'll have to wait to cut it because it's so hard...so you have to somewhat plan ahead :)
