Chocolate Butterscotch Special K Bars Recipes

SPECIAL "K" BARS

Steps:

• 1. Lightly butter a 13X9 inch pan ( for thicker bars use a 9x9 pan); set aside.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and Karo syrup. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or just until sugar is dissolved. NOTE: Remove immediately after the sugar is dissolved. Do not let BOIL. This will over cook the mixture and cause the bars to be hard as concrete when they set up.
• 3. Remove bowl from microwave; add peanut butter to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
• 4. Stir in the cereal; mix well.
• 5. Put the mixture into the prepared pan and pat the mixture firmly into the pan. (Using a lightly buttered piece of waxed paper works great for patting down the mixture in the pan).
• 6. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips and microwave for about 2 minutes or until melted; stirring once or twice during the process.
• 7. Pour/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.
