Special K Bars - from Tony

Special K Bars1 cup Karo Light (not lite) Syrup
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Skippy Creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups Special K Cereal
½ bag Hershey’s milk chocolate chips
½ bag butterscotch chips

 

Special K bars have been the topic of conversation around work as of late, how best to make them. I’ve taken it upon myself to separate fact from fiction, here is what I’ve found. Don’t bring anything to a boil, fold don’t stir, never exert downward pressure, use heaping measurements for everything except the cereal, use 6 cups.

 

In a large pot almost bring to a boil the syrup and sugar, take it off of the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Fold (don’t stir) in the cereal. Dump the results into your container and gently distribute taking your time, don’t smash it in there turning everything into pulp.

 

Nuke your chips in the microwave for 2 minutes. When they come out they’ll still look whole, but give them a stir and they all come melting together. Spread over the bars, again taking your time and not mashing everything down. The extra effort in being gentle with everything pays off in the end.

 

Seems simple enough, but then again….I’ve had a lot of bad bars in church basements and block parties.
