Peanut Butter Butterscotch Bars

Summer is here! Tis the season for skateboarding, bowls of Special K cereal, and turning the oven OFF. These bars are the perfect summer treat, they’re no-bake and easy to carry with your board. But… in case you’re like me and had a piece of chicken fried steak for breakfast, no worries honey, you can still squeeze in that bowl of Special K. Just have a couple of these bars, Special K is the secret ingredient!

P.S. Earrings made from recycled skateboards by Seven Ply. Dress designed by Swedish skater, Gregory Hagelin, purchased at Parlor, the coolest indie boutique I came across while visiting Asheville, NC.

The Special K offsets the peanut butter and chocolate right? Net effect: no guilt. I love it!

June

Smart recipe. I like that you’re taking into consideration the summer season. This is quick to whip up in case unexpected guests come for a visit. Have you tried the recipe w/ rice krispies? Though I imagine Special K is “healther” and holds the crunch better…

Great photos as well!
