Special K Bars + {Valentine Dessert Roundup}
 
 
Despite the Special K label, there is nothing healthy about these Special K Bars! They are absolutely worth every calorie!!
Serves: 18
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1½ cups peanut butter
  • 8 cups Special K cereal
  • 1 Tbsp shortening
  • 6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 6 oz butterscotch chips
Directions:
  1. Spray a 13x9 inch pan with canola spray. Set aside.
  2. In large stock pan, heat the corn syrup and sugar on low until just bubbly. Be patient, this can take upwards of 5-8 minutes.
  3. Immediately remove from heat and add in the peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Add in the Special K cereal and mix until cereal is fully coated. Spread into prepared pan, using your hands or a back of a spoon to evenly distribute cereal mixture. Set aside to cool.
  4. While the bars are cooling, you can prepare the topping. Melt the shortening, semi sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a small pan on low heat. Once the chips are melted and smooth (you will need to stir these constantly), remove from heat and pour over the Special K Bars, spreading with a spoon to cover. Set aside until ready to serve. If it is a hot day, you may need to refrigerate them.
  5. Store leftovers tightly covered.
