These have been at our family gatherings for as long as I can remember. And became my husbands favorite. But now that we live so far away, he'll make these for the holidays or whenever we have a craving for them.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup white Karo Syrup
  • 14 oz jar Skippy Peanut Butter
  • 7 plus cups Special K Cereal
  • 12 oz bag Butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 package plus one handful Hersey's Chocolate Chips

Directions
  1. Remove all the foil protective label from the peanut butter jar and microwave for 1 minute. If not completely melted continue microwaving in 30 second intervals.
  2. On the stovetop in a large saucepan boil sugar & syrup together, until the edges & middle boil a little, turn off heat.
  3. Add the melted peanut butter, stir until well mixed.
  4. Pour cereal into the sugar/peanut butter mixture; mix well, being careful as to not crumble the cereal to much.
  5. Spray a 13x9x2-1/4 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Place cereal mixture in pan and level it out.
  7. **DO NOT** press the mixture down very much or else it will make the bars very hard.
  8. Let cool before preparing the chocolate-butterscotch chip topping. (We will place the pan in the freezer to give it a jump start)
  9. When the bars have cooled start preparing the topping.
  10. In a microwave safe bowl combine the butterscotch & chocolate chips.
  11. Microwave for 2-3 minutes. Stir until creamy.
  12. Pour over the cereal mixture. Once topping has hardened, cut into desired sized bars.
