Although I am noted in my family for not being excessively fond of
sweet things (I prefer carrots and the like for my random munchies),
there are few things that I won't pass up for these.
SPECIAL K BARS
1/2 C light Karo syrup
1/2 C white sugar
3/4 C chunky peanut butter
4 C Special K cereal
6 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
Bring the Karo and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat, add peanut butter, and stir until peanut butter is
thoroughly mixed and smooth. Pour this over Special K cereal in a
large bowl and mix thoroughly. Spread this in a 9 x 13 pan.
Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together in another saucepan, and
spread them over the bars like icing. Let cool and cut into squares.
-- It is *not* necessary to refrigerate these.
-- Cutting them into squares is probably easiest after the chocolate has
begun to set, but before they have completely cooled.
-- Keep covered to prevent drying out.
