Special K Bars Recipes

SPECIAL K BARS

Steps:

• Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Measure the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until boiling.
• Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
• Remove from heat. Pour the mixture over the bowl of cereal and fold in the cereal to coat.
• Pat the cereal mixture into the lined baking dish using an oiled spatula.
• Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, add the milk chocolate and butterscotch chips. Heat the chips in 20-second intervals until they have melted and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
• Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch chips over the bars, smoothing with a knife.
• Let the bars sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

SPECIAL K BARS

Steps:

• Grease a large bowl with butter and place the Special K in the bowl.
• Grease a 9x13 or 8x11 baking dish. The 9x13 will make thinner bars, the 8x11 bars will be thicker (as pictured).
• Place sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture stirring occasionally, until the edges start to bubble. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter.
• Working quickly (before the mixture cools), pour the peanut butter mixture over the Special K and stir until combined. Scoop into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Proceed with the frosting.
• Place chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in the bowl of a double boiler. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Note: make sure the boiling water is not touching the bottom of your bowl, only the steam.
• Immediately pour the frosting over the bars and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow several hours for the frosting to firm up, then cut and serve.

• Remove bowl from microwave; add crunchy peanut butter to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in the Special K cereal and mix well.
• Pat the mixture firmly into a lightly buttered 13X9 inch pan. Using a lightly buttered or greased piece of waxed paper works great for patting down the mixture.(To make thicker bars -- use a 9x9 pan).
• In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips and microwave for about 3-4 minutes until melted; stirring once or twice during melting.
• Spread over top of cereal mixture. Refrigerate just long enough to set the chips.
• Remove, and cut into bars.
