Ingredients
Bars
- 4 cups (124 g) Kellogg's Special K original cereal
- 3 cups (120 g) salted pretzels
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (511.5 g) light corn syrup
- 1 ½ cups (387 g) peanut butter
Topping
- 1 cup (168 g) milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup (168 g) butterscotch chips
- reserved crushed pretzels
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, including up the sides. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a large sealable plastic bag, add pretzels. Using your hands or a rolling pin, roughly crush them into smaller pieces.
- To a medium bowl, add about ⅔ of the crushed pretzels, reserving the rest for the topping. Add the cereal to the bowl of crushed pretzels, mixing to combine. Set aside.
- To a large saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and corn syrup, stirring to combine. Cook until boiling.
- Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
- Remove from heat. Pour the corn syrup mixture over the pretzel cereal mixture. Gently fold to coat.
- Using an oiled spatula, press the cereal mixture into the lined baking dish.
- Meanwhile, to a microwave-safe bowl, add the milk chocolate and butterscotch chips. Heat the chips in 20-second intervals, mixing in between, until they have melted and the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch chips over the bars, smoothing with an offset spatula.
- Scatter the reserved crushed pretzels over the top.
- Let the bars sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
