Ingredients

    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    1 cup peanut butter
    6 cup Special K Cereal
    1 cup butterscotch chips
    1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Boil the sugar and the corn syrup at a full boil for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in the peanut butter. At this point either stir in the special K (if you used a large pot) or pour the mixture over the special K cereal in a mixing bowl. Place the cereal mixture in a well greased 9 X 13 pan. Melt the butterscotch and chocolate chips together and pour over the cereal mixture. Eat whenever you desire.

Notes: For easy cutting, let cool for an hour or so and then cut them all up. Do not smooth or compact the special K mixture or topping more than the minimum required to spread it.

    We enjoyed these. I will make them infrequently because of the sugar and calories but they are very tasty. - 2/12/20
