Yummy Bars

A treat that is bar none (pun intended) competely free of nutrition. Yum though. This recipe came from Health One Mercy Hospital Employee Association Cookbook entitled Savory Creations Vol 2. which was put out in the 80s.

Special K Bars

From Jeri Arendt, Short Stay

1 cup sugar
1 cup Karo white syrup
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
8 cups special K cereal
1 12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
1 12 oz. pkg. butterscotch chips

Bring to boil in large glass bowl in microwave, sugar and syrup, 4-5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Add peanut butter stir in well. Add cereal. Pat into 9x13 pan or cookie sheet. Mix chips in glass bowl, microwave 3-5 minutes on 70% power (7 on most microwaves) and mix until smooth. Cover cereal mixture.

Note: original recipe used 6 oz. packages of chips. I didn't think it provided enough coverage, but easily, a total of 18 oz. of chips would be ideal.
