A Jensen staple.
Ingredients:
Bottom Layer
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup real maple syrup
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 6 cups of Special K cereal
Top Layer
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Recipe:
Bottom Layer
- First layer a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray (the syrup can get very sticky!)
- Prepare the bottom layer of the bars by mixing peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut sugar into a large bowl.
- Place the large bowl into the microwave for 1-2 minutes (you want the coconut sugar to dissolve). Stir every 45 seconds until desired consistency is met – smooth and everything blended.
- While you are melting all the goods together – pour 6 cups of Special K cereal into an extra large bowl.
- Then pour the melted and smooth peanut butter, coconut sugar, and maple syrup mixture over top of the Special K – mix until combined. It’s okay if some of the Special K get’s crushed.
- Transfer the Special K mixture to the bottom of the 9×13 pan.
- Wet your hands and press the mixture into the pan – damp hands limit the stickiness.
- Set aside.
Top Layer
- Add chocolate chips & butterscotch chips to a medium size bowl.
- Heat in microwave for 1-2 minutes until fully melted together. Check often to prevent burning! The better brand you have of the chips the easier the chips melt. @nestletollhouse will always have my heart.
- Take the melted chips and pour over the Special K mixture – spread evenly with a spatula.
- Place in the fridge for 45-60 minutes to harden.
- Slice and enjoy!
- Store the bars in either the refrigerator or counter top. Freeze if you want to save for later – make sure to let them thaw out before you dig in – we don’t want you to break your tooth! They will be good for 4-5 days on the counter covered or in an airtight container.
