1st Layer: Heat 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup karo until sugar is dissolved. (DO NOT BOIL). Add 3/4 cup
crunchy peanut butter - remove from heat and stir till blended well. Add 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 cups Special K Cereal (
do not crush before measuring). (It may take cup or so more of cereal). Mix all together well and press into
9 x 13 x 1 buttered cookie sheet. (Be sure to press this down real firm.)
2nd Layer: Over the above base mix (1st layer) (while it is still warm) spread 3 - 4 cups of miniature
marshmallows……spread evenly…..bake in 250 - 275 degree oven just until marshmallows puff up and begin
to melt (about 5 mins.) …don t let them brown. While this is still warm put the following topping over the
marshmallows.
3rd. Layer: (Mix the 3/4 c. karo, 1/4 c. margarine, 2 tsp. Vanilla and the peanut butter chips and heat over
medium heat in heavy saucepan….until all is well mixed and chips are dissolved….then add nuts (except 1
cup) and cereal and spread on marshmallow layer. (sprinkle remaining nuts over top and sort of press into
mix.)
Cool and cut into squares. (These freeze very well and will keep frozen for several months….if you can stay
out of them!)
