OK…clearly it makes sense that I {heart} Valentines Day :) and always want an excuse to make sweets so….These Special K Chewy bars are a perfect way to share the love with your friends, while indulging in them first….’cause Special K cereal is good for you and stuff…

{They have} yummy ingredients like, peanut butter, butter and Nutter Butters mmmm….{lots of butters. but yet, still good for you. hmmm..}

and brown sugar…

and this is how you do it…{nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah}

Food Items you will need:

{1 lb} nutter butter cookies
{4 c} Special K cereal
{1/2 c} butter
{1 c} karo syrup
{1 c} brown sugar
{1/2 c} peanut butter
{1 tsp} vanilla extract

Required Topping
{12 oz} pkg semi~sweet chocolate chips
{1/3 c} peanut butter

Let’s do this! …

*grind up those nutter butters in your food processor until course. place in a bowl with the cereal.

to make it valentines day-ee…
I made small white chocolate hearts {with added red food coloring} using melted chocolate and a ziplock bag. I cut a {tiny} bit off the end and piped onto silpat {or waxed paper}
