Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

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.
