Instructions
- Make the Bars Line a 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the Special K; set aside.
- To a medium, high-sided stockpot, add the butter and heat over medium-high heat to melt.
- After the butter is mostly melted, add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and whisk to combine. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring intermittently.
- Remove the pot from the heat, add the peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and whisk to incorporate.
- Pour mixture over the Special K and using a spatula, stir to toss and coat evenly.
- Turn cereal out into prepared pan, lightly pressing it with a spatula; set aside while you make the topping.
- Make the Topping
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, butter, and heat in 3-second bursts until chips and butter have melted and can be stirred smooth.
- Turn the chocolate topping out over the cereal, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula to distribute it.
- Evenly sprinkle with the sprinkles and allow bars and chocolate to set up before serving, about 2 hours. If you’re in a rush, you can put the pan in the fridge to save time.
Notes
- Bars will keep airtight at room temp for 2 weeks and in the fridge for at least 1 month.
