Cooks can substitute Corn Flakes in recipes for Special K bars.
Cereal bars are a type of no-bake dessert made by combining cereal with a thickened sugar mixture. Substituting Corn Flakes in the Special K bar recipe is an easy variation on the dessert.
Special K Bars
Make Special K Bars by combining one cup of sugar, one cup of light corn syrup and one and one-half cups of peanut butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave for three minutes and stir well. Add six cups of Special K cereal to the mixture, combining all ingredients together. Using your fingers or a wooden spoon, press the cereal mixture into a glass or metal 9-inch by 13-inch pan.
Corn Flake Bars
Substitute Corn Flakes cereal by decreasing the sugar and corn syrup to one-half cup. Also, use only one cup of peanut butter, and add one-fourth teaspoon of salt to the mixture as well. Make Corn Flake bars using the same method as Special K bars, although you may prefer to use an 8-inch by 8-inch pan for thicker bars.
Variations
For a different taste profile, add other ingredients to the mixture when you add the cereal. Choices include chocolate chips,
