Recipes Using Special K Cereal?

I use this cereal in my recipe for rice krispie bars. My kids actually like it better! Of course we put lots of sprinkles on top to make them even more appealing!

They make the best scotcharoos. Use Special K cereal instead of using rice krispies. They are much softer. If you need the recipe for scotcharoos here it is with the Special K cereal in place of the rice krispies.

1 C kero syrup (light)
1 C sugar
1 C peanut butter

Put these three ingredients in sauce pan on stove top and melt on low to medium heat until smooth.

Add 5 cups Special K cereal. Mix into melted mix.
It will be a little stiff to mix.

Spread into 9 x 13 pan.

Melt 1 C butterscotch, 1 C chocolate chips along with 1 T peanut butter in microwave-safe bowl. Do not over melt as the chips will become hard.

Spread melted chips on top of scotcharoos in pan and let cool completely.

Enjoy

My mom used Special K in a drop cookie recipe.

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups Special K

Put sugar and syrup in a large microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until mixture comes to a boil. Add peanut butter and stir. Stir in vanilla. Stir in the cereal. Drop by spoonsfuls on waxed paper.

Notes: These don't keep real well - both because they are yummy and because the cereal gets soggy. And I don't like the taste of Special K so I use Rice Krispies in this recipe.

K-Bars!
1C sugar, 1C karo syrup, boil then add 1C peanut butter. Add 6C special K and stir. Put on buttered cookie sheet.
Melt 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup peanut butter chips. Spread and chill.

I would imagine that you could substitute Special K in any recipe that calls for Rice Krispies. I'd try it if I were you. Good luck!

Crush them and use to top casseroles, as filler for meatballs or loaf. I would even think you could make granola with them too and bars.

Make rice krispy treats using Special K instead. Works great with Honey Bunches of Oats too!
