Yummy Cereal Peanut Butter Bars


This recipe is not a low-fat or healthy food but does contain cereal and peanut butter – ingredients which do have health benefits for the body. It's a simple, great tasting dessert treat to add to a picnic menu or a cookie tray for special occasions. As this recipe requires no baking, it is a good choice for preparation on a hot summer day.

3 1/2 cups Special K, Rice Krispies, or other flaked cereals, crushed
1/2 cup shredded coconut, optional
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Spray a 8 x 8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and add cereal and coconut; mix. In sauce pan, combine corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a boil and add peanut butter. Stir until smooth, pour over cereal mixture covering as much of the cereal as possible. Mix thoroughly. Pat into pan as you would for Rice Krispies squares.

Combine chocolate and butterscotch chips in saucepan on the stovetop at a very low heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. May also melt in the microwave by cooking for 60 to 90 seconds and stirring mid-way to hasten the melting process. Frost bars with the chocolate mixture. Makes 16 servings.

My kind of nutrition!!!!  haha! 

I just made a few Peanut Butter Cookies but Betty Crocker helped!

YUMM - I LOVE anything made with peanut butter.  Tomorrow I will pick up some Rice Krispies, and the butterscotch chips.  I have everything else on hand.

Thank you, Marilyn!!
