Today was our Team Meeting/Creative Day. And whenever we have our extended Creative Day we always do a potluck. So today I brought Special K Bars. My college roommate and I used to make these and honestly, I can’t recall the last time I made them so I was pretty excited to make them and share them with friends! It brought back some great memories making these again.
They were a HUGE hit. So in case you are interested in making them yourself and trying them out, here is the recipe…
- 1 C. sugar
- 1-1/4 C. corn syrup
Mix these items together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add:
- 1 C. peanut butter
- 1 t. vanilla
Stir in 6 C. Special K cereal until well coated. Then place in a greased 9 x 13 pan. (note: using wax paper to press the mixture into the pan helps)In a microwave safe bowl, melt the following:
- 1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 C. butterscotch chips
Melt for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until smooth. Then spread on top of bars and let cool.
Have you had these Special K Bars before? If so, let us know what you think. If not, give my recipe a try and let us know how they turn out, ok? Enjoy!
