Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups Special K Cereal
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups butterscotch morsels
Instructions
- Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large pot, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add in sugar and corn syrup. Mix gently and bring to a boil. Boil for one full minute, then remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Fold in Special K cereal gently. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press into the dish gently.
- While the treats cool, make the topping by melting the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until smooth. Spread melted mixture over the top of the cereal bars. Allow to rest and set about one hour.
Notes
- Make the sugar mixture begins to boil, then continue to stir while boiling for one minute.
- Melt the chocolate and butterscotch in a double boiler or in the microwave. If melting in the microwave, do so in 30 second intervals to avoid overheating.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Freeze in an airtight freezer safe container for up to three months. Thaw on counter overnight.
