Special K Bars

Made a family favorite - an old stand-by that is good to the last crumb.  I like a lot of chocolate "frosting" on my Special K Bars!

1 c. sugar
1 c. corn syrup
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
5 c. Special K cereal
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. butterscotch chips

Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan, bring to a boil.  Add peanut butter and cereal.  Press in a 9"x13" pan.  Melt and combine both chips and spread over bars.  Chill.

Caramel Krispie Bars

Preparing for visiting friends and relatives last week, I made a couple different bars.  This one was a special request from my daughter.  It was a favorite - and disappeared quickly!

Caramel Krispie Bars

10 Tablespoons butter
10 cups mini marshmallows
10 cups Rice Krispies
14 ounce bag of caramels
14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk


Melt 5 Tablespoons margarine and 5 cups marshmallows.  Stir in 5 cups Rice Krispies.  Pat in buttered 9 x 13 inch pan.  Melt caramels and sweetened condensed milk together.  Pour over Rice Krispies layer in pan.  Cool completely.  Prepare another Rice Krispie mixture like the first.  Put on top of caramel layer.  Cool and cut into bars.

I grilled chicken again today, and we had chicken salad sandwiches for supper.  We used a french bread for our sandwiches.  I buttered both sides of the bread and them grilled it to toast it.

Ingredients:
4 c. cubed chicken
1 c. cashews
1 c. halved seedless red grapes

(I didn't have grapes on had so I used cherries)
1 c. chopped celery
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. mayonnaise

freshly squeezed lemon juice 
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper


Mix ingredients together and serve on lettuce or bread.
