Ingredients
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 6 cups Special K cereal
- 1¼ cup butterscotch chips
- 1¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add corn syrup and sugar. Heat until you see bubbles around the outside edge of the pan.
- Add the peanut butter. Stir until well combined and take off heat
- Add peanut butter mixture onto 6 cups Special K cereal in a large bowl.
- Stir until cereal is evenly coated.
- Press into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Gently heat both the butterscotch and chocolate chips until melted. Either use a double boiler or a microwave. Don't overheat or the chocolate changes texture and isn't smooth.
- Once the chips are melted, pour over the cereal mixture and spread evenly. It's a fairly thin layer and that's all you need!
- Place in refrigerator to cool - about an hour.
- Cut into small squares (or large ones if you are feeding teens :) ).
