As a child I remember mom making these special treats. Back in those days the Special K cereal was much like Rice Krispies, just more flat and a little wider. Now the Special K cereal is more like flakes so it doesn't work in these bars. I think the name should be changed and I have seen these bars called other names. But to me they will always be Special K bars. Some things from childhood just stick with a person.
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Special K cereal or rice Krispies
Frosting
6 oz. chocolate chips
6 oz. butterscotch chips
Stir the sugar and corn syrup together in a pot until the mixture boils. Remove from heat. If cooked longer than 30 seconds you will have hard bars.
Stir in the peanut butter, and then the Special K cereal. Mix thoroughly.
Pour mixture into a 9×13 pan, and press down on the mixture.
Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together on low heat in a small pan. Pour onto the cereal bars and smooth with a knife. Put in the fridge to cool, and then cut into bars.
