Ingredients

• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 6 cups Special K cereal
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil vigorously.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, add the Special K cereal. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently stir with a spatula until the cereal is evenly coated.

Step 5

Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or lightly greased hands.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chips are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate-butterscotch mixture over the cereal layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Let the bars cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes until the topping is set.

Step 9

Slice into squares or bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
