  • 1 cup light karo syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups rice krispies
  • 1+ cup chocolate chips

How To Make "special" special k bars

  • Step 1
    Bring Karo syrup and sugar to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add the peanut butter until it's melted and smooth.
  • Step 2
    Remove from heat and add the peanut butter until it's melted and smooth.
  • Step 3
    Stir in Rice Krispies, and mix well. (using rice krispies instead of Special K cereal makes the bars softer & chewier)
  • Step 4
    Press mixture into a butter greased pan.
  • Step 5
    Melt together chocolate chips and peanut butter chips*, stir until smooth.
  • Step 6
    Spread over the top of the cereal mixture and let cool.
  • Step 7
    *butterscotch chips can be used in place of peanut butter chips for a variation
