A retro-recipe from the 60's. Who knew Special K could be so yummy? My girlfriend Debbie brought these to my 2004 christmas cookie exchange. Her mom made these when she was little. The recipe used to be on the back of Special K boxes. She called her mom for the recipe and luckily, after all these years, she still had it! Thanks Sue!!

6 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (11 ounce) package butterscotch chips

  • 1 cup peanut butter

I really enjoy this recipe!!! In addition, I add a layer of melted milk chocolate to the top which everyone really seems to enjoy. I also press it into a 9x13 pan and cut into squares. Great recipe!!!!

    While these tasted good, my treats fell apart and were quite crumbly. Possibly I brought the chips and peanut butter to too high of a temperature (?) But I'm glad you posted this so I could try them. Had always heard about them, but never had an opportunity to try. Thank-you.

    These are so delicious - nice and sweet and crunchy. The butterscotch and peanut butter taste great together. Instead of doing individual cookies, I just pressed the mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and we had cereal bars. That worked out very well and it made a quick recipe even quicker! Thank you Pam-I-Am.

    I really thought I had messed up on this one, but thankfully I didn't. I got everything melted together and went to add the Special K ....and low and behold, I had special K with Strawberries. Well, there was nothing to do but use them. This treat turned out wonderfully. Everyone loved them!!!!
