Special K bars

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.
