Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups light corn syrup
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 cup Special K cereal
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Do not bring to a boil. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Put cereal in a large mixing bowl. Add peanut butter mixture; stir until thoroughly coated. Press onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Microwave butterscotch morsels and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute; stir. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until smooth. Spread over cereal mixture.
  • Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes or until the topping is firm. Cut into bars.
