Instructions

Place 1 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup light corn syrup in a saucepan.

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and begin stirring the sugar in. Let it come to a boil and remove from heat and stir 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature.

Add 6 cups of original special K cereal into a large bowl. Then pour in the melted peanut butter mixture.

Now stir everything together using a large spoon. Since the sugars are now beginning to cool down, you will need to work fast before it firms up too much.

Once everything is well combined, press the cereal mixture into a buttered 9x13 inch deep baking dish.

Then melt 1 cup of semisweet and 1 cup of butterscotch chips in a saucepan over low heat. Do not use high heat to speed this up. It will burn the chocolate and possibly seize it up

After the chocolate has melted, pour it over the baking dish and smooth it out. Top with a little bit of course sea salt to balance out all the sweetness of the special k bars. Let it set for about 2 hours before cutting and serving.
