Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup Karo syrup
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 6 cups Special K cereal
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

• In a large saucepan, add Karo syrup. Add sugar. Bring to a gentle boil and stir for about a minute.
• Remove from heat and then add the peanut butter. Stir until well combined.
• Add cereal.
• Stir gently until cereal is evenly coated.
• Press into a 9 x 13 casserole pan.
• (I love using the gloves I bought at restaurant supply store. Not only do they keep your hands clean, you dont burn your fingers as easily with hot ingredients - baggies work too!)
• Gently heat both the butterscotch and chocolate chips until melted. You probably should use a double boiler. I just use a heavy sauce pan and low heat. Dont overheat or the chocolate changes texture and isnt smooth.
• Once the chocolate and peanut butter is melted, pour over the cereal mixture and spread evenly.
• Place in refrigerator to cool - about an hour.
• Cut into small squares (or large ones if you are feeding teens 🙂 ).
