Special K Bars

I've had this recipe for quite a few years.  When I was teaching, the mother of one of my students shared this with me.  I'm so glad she did because these are so good!!  It's been a while since I've made them and I forgot just how yummy they are!!  I was glad when they were gone because I couldn't stay out of them!  So yummy!  These are so quick to make and super scrumptious!!  Enjoy!!

 

 

 

Over low heat, cook light corn syrup and sugar together, just until sugar dissolves. Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Put cereal in a large mixing bowl and pour sugar/peanut butter mixture over cereal. Mix well and press into a 9x13 pan

 

 

For the topping, you will need 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips and 1 c. butterscotch chips.  Melt in microwave for 20 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted.  Pour and spread evenly over bars.  I popped the pan into the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the topping to set. 

 

 

Cut into bars and watch them disappear!
