Grandma Dorothy’s Special K Bars

 

 
I shared on Facebook that Special K Bars are *the* most loved treat on my husband’s side, at extended family gatherings. We’ve been together almost 11 years, and for the first time ever… I was asked to bring them to one of their big shindigs!  Say what!?

 

 I was worried they’d be rock hard, or down right inedible, as it was my (our) first time ever making them.  Between my husband and I, we made a pretty good batch!  The toddler approved and there weren’t many left over, so it’s all good! 

 

Here is my late MIL’s recipe.  Now, like usual, I tried to tweak it a little bit, which didn’t quite work in my favor, but was okay.  Don’t try to add extra cereal like I did, it makes the bottom all crumby.  Also I used light corn syrup-  I think that was fine.  And I used a mixture of chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips for the frosting- because that’s what I had on hand, so I just melted it all in the crock pot and it poured it over the top (still tasted good, but different). 
Grandma Dorothy’s Special K Bars

 

1 C. Dark Syrup (corn syrup)
1 C. Sugar
1 ½ C. Peanut Butter
6 C. Special K Cereal
2 pkgs Milk Chocolate Chips
 
Bring the Corn Syrup and Sugar just about to a boil, to dissolve the sugar.
DON’T LET IT BOIL, or you’ll need a chisel to cut your bars, and a machine to chew them for you. 
Add the Peanut Butter and stir it well.
Add the Special K.
Press this mixture into a greased pan.
Melt the Chocolate Chips and pour over the top as frosting.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
