Instructions

Grease a 9×13 inch pan and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
Add the Special K cereal and mix until fully coated.
Press the cereal mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the bars and spread evenly.
Let bars cool at room temperature until set, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Do not boil the sugar mixture too long, or the bars may become too hard.
Use parchment paper to press down the mixture easily without sticking.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
