Special K Bars

This is an awesome recipe, these are kind of like rice crispy treats, but much much better.

1 cup sugar
1 cup white karo syrup
1 cup smooth peanut butter

Heat in a thick pan, mix while heating, heat until it is about ready to boil then take off the heat.

Mix 7 cups of Special K cereal in the pot. Make sure that it is off the heat.

Put on a cookie sheet pan and spread, using a spoon, or press down with your hands.

For the topping, add 1/2 bag semi sweet or milk chocolate chips and 1/2 bag butterscotch chips.
Put them in a glass bowl and heat in the microwave, you need to melt them together SLOWLY, be careful not to burn the chocolate.

Spread over the Special K mixture and refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. Take out of the fridge and cut.

Note: Do not let them stay in the fridge to long or they will be to hard to cut.

Easy to Prepare Bowtie Lasagna

Things you will need:
1 package of bowtie noodles
1 small onion
1 bell pepper, optional
1 large can of Hunts spaghetti sauce
1 small container of cottage cheese
1 package of shredded mozarella, or just shred as much as you prefer

Cook 1 package of bowtie noodles.

Boil and cook

Cook hamburger with 1 onion and 1 bell pepper. Cook until the onions are cooked, you don’t have to add the bell pepper, it is just to add extra flavor.

Add 1 can of Hunts Spaghetti sauce to the hamburger, or whatever spaghetti sauce you have, I am not a Hunts representative, so it doesn’t matter to me.

Put half of the mixture of the bowtie lasagna on the bottom of the pan.

After adding half of the bowtie on the bottom add cottage cheese and shredded cheese of any kind.

Repeat and add the remaining bowties, add cottage cheese, sauce mixture, and put mozzarella shredded cheese on top.

Cook at 350 for 30 minutes until the cheese in melted.

This is an easy lasagna recipe that anyone can make and it won’t take to much time.
