Special K Bars

Special K Bars (my tweak on Grandma’s special treat)

1 c. lite Karo Syrup & 1 c. white sugar

Put in med. Saucepan on med heat until it just boils. Take off heat.

Add: 1 1/3 c. peanut butter (any variety) 1 tsp vanilla

Measure out 7-8 c. flake cereal (Special K or Cornflakes are good)

Put peanut butter mixture in large bowl with Special K (or cornflakes). Mix until evenly coated. 

Note: if it has cooled down a little, mixing by hand is best. But don't burn yourself. 

Meanwhile, melt ½ pkg chocolate chips and ½ pkg (6 oz each) of peanut butter chips. 

I do 1 min 30 seconds on power 3 in the microwave, stir and keep going til it looks like this:

then another 30 seconds on 3 to be completely melted - like this:

Put ½ of cereal mixture in rectangle pan. 

Pour and spread melted chips on top.

 Add remaining cereal and press down.

Cut into small pieces. Put in fridge until hardened

Variety: Add raisins or chunky peanut butter.

Enjoy!!
