Special K bars

Here is a favorite in our house! These are SO quick and easy to make, and they are always a big hit.

SPECIAL K BARS
1/2 c. light Karo Syrup
1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. peanut butter
3 c. Special K cereal

Mix Karo syrup, sugar and peanut butter in a large saucepan. Heat until boiling around the edges. (be sure to watch closely, you don't want to burn it and ruin the pan!) Mix in Special K. Put in lightly buttered 9x9 inch pan and press until flat. I usually stick them in the fridge to cool while I prepare the frosting.

Special K Bar Chocolate Frosting: (and really this is a quick and easy frosting recipe for other things as well!!)
3 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2-3 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 c. powered sugar
Mix all together and beat until smooth. Spread on cooled Special K bars.

For large family gatherings, I double the recipe and use a 13x9 inch pan! :)
