Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 C. white (karo ) syrup
1 C. sugar
1 and 1/2 C. peanut butter

5 and 1/2 C. Special K Cereal
1 C. chocolate chips
1 C. butterscotch chips

Directions:
Directions:
Stir syrup, sugar and peanut butter together in heavy sauce pan over low heat until well melted together . Stirring constantly, burns very easily. But try to stir and melt till the sugar no longer sounds real “gritty” when mixing. It will still be a little gritty, but that’s ok.
Remove from heat, stir in cereal and mix well. This is where it gets very stiff and kind of hard to mix to make sure all cereal is coated. But do persevere....well worth it.
Press lightly into buttered 9x 13 in pan.
In small sauce pan low heat, or double boiler, or microwave, ( 50%) melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together. Stir till smooth.
Spread over cereal mixture. Cool before cutting.

Personal Notes:
GRANNY SAYS....this is a great recipe! Everyone always loves it. And very simple, but the only bad part is that it gets very stiff when trying to mix in all the cereal, ( and I even left out a 1/2 C. of it) or I am just getting weak....; ) but well worth the effort. They are yummy bars!








CHOCOLATE...
Did you know? Decadent, ooey-gooey chocolate comes from beans....cocoa beans! When the center of the bean is ground into a liquid state, it becomes chocolate liquor.

UNSWEETENED
Also know as baking and bitter chocolate. To create this, the chocolate liquor is cooled and molded into blocks.

DARK
The term dark chocolate is not regulated, but it often refers to sweet and bittersweet chocolates containing at least 35% chocolate liquor. It can also have sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla.

MILK
Must contain at least 10% chocolate liquor and 12% milk solids. It’s considered the most common kind of eating chocolate.

WHITE
Not considered a true chocolate, it actually has little chocolate flavor. It’s typically a mixture of sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids and vanilla
