SPECIAL K BARS

Steps:

• First, prepare a 9x13 pan by either lining it with wax paper or spraying with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• In a large nonstick pot, combine the sugar and corn syrup.
• Turn the heat on medium-low, and whisk the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is smooth and lump-free.
• Add in the peanut butter, and whisk until smooth.
• Add in all of the cereal, and mix into peanut butter-sugar mixture, crushing flakes slightly as you go.
• Immediately pour mixture into your prepared pan. You can use a spoon or spatula sprayed with nonstick spray to help you smooth it down and even it out.
• Now, prepare the topping. Place the chocolate chips in a small nonstick pan, and heat over medium heat, whisking continuously until melted and smooth.
• Immediately pour the chocolate over the prepared bars, smoothing it down and evening it out.
• Place bars in fridge for at least one hour before serving. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

SPECIAL K BARS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and Karo syrup; microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove after sugar is dissolved. Do not boil. This is important. Bars will be hard as concrete if mixture continues to boil.
• Remove bowl from microwave; add crunchy peanut butter to the sugar mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in the Special K cereal and mix well.
• Pat the mixture firmly into a lightly buttered 13X9 inch pan. Using a lightly buttered or greased piece of waxed paper works great for patting down the mixture.(To make thicker bars -- use a 9x9 pan).
• In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips and microwave for about 3-4 minutes until melted; stirring once or twice during melting.
• Spread over top of cereal mixture. Refrigerate just long enough to set the chips.
• Remove, and cut into bars.

Steps:

• Grease 9×13 pan with butter/oil or line with parchment paper; set aside.
• Drain dates and place in bowl of food processor with S-blade; process dates until broken down into paste, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time until creamy paste forms. You may need 3-4 tablespoons here.
• Transfer date paste to large pot on stovetop. On medium heat combine date paste with peanut butter, stirring continuously. Add coconut oil and stir until melted/combined - add another 1 tablespoon of milk here if mixture is sticky.
• Add cereal to date & peanut butter mixture until cereal is broken down and fully combined. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing firmly down and evenly into all four corners.
• Sprinkle on butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chips. Here you can cover the pan with foil to help lock in heat and melt chips. OR you can place the covered pan back on the warm (turned off) stovetop, turning the pan every 2 minutes and removing after 4-5 minutes (to prevent from burning). Wait for the chips to melt before smoothing top with spatula.
• Allow pan to rest at room temperature for an hour or so until topping sets. You can also place pan in fridge for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
• Cut into bars and enjoy!
