Ingredients

Cereal: With Special-K in the name, it just makes sense to use Special K cereal. Look for the original variety.

Snickers: I used two bags of fun-sized Snickers, each bar cut into about 5 pieces. You will end up with 4 cups of chopped candy bars.

Peanut Butter: Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter.

Baking chips: Both milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips were melted and added to the bars. If you don’t like butterscotch, you could stick with all milk chocolate chips.

How to Store Snickers Special K Bars

Once these bars have set, they will last for about 4 days at room temperature. Be sure they are in an airtight container.

Can I Freeze the Bars?

Sure! I recommend cutting the bars into individual servings first. Then, place the bars into a freezer-safe container with the layers separated by parchment paper. They will last about 3 months in the freezer.

Can I Use a Different Kind of Cereal?

Well, these are called Special K Bars for a reason. But, you could certainly try other kinds of cereal. You could try these with Rice Krispies or corn flakes to start.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups (186 g) Kellogg's original Special K cereal
  • 2 bags (9.7 ounces each) fun-sized Snickers, chopped into small pieces (about 4 cups chopped), divided
  • 1½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups (511 g) corn syrup
  • 1½ cups (387 g) peanut butter
  • ¾ cup (126 g) milk chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (126 g) butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

  3. These look so good!! I have a peanut allergy, so I’m going to make an Almond Snickers bar, substituting almond butter for the peanut butter, and the almond Snickers for the regular ones.

    So excited!!

      1. I live in Iowa, and we love our “Scotcheroos”! The addition of Snickers Bars was brilliant. They are perfectly chewy and delicious!

  5. I just made these and I’m wondering if 1/2 c milk is right???? My frosting was pure liquid and after 3 1/2 hours is still runny. I even added more powdered sugar before I poured it on as it seemed too runny….the flavor is obviously good but the runny frosting has just ruined them!
