The very famous Peanut Butter Bars!!!!! {not scotcheroos)

Although similar to scotcheroos — these are WAYYY better and a Betters family favorite!

1 cup Karo Syrup
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup peanut butter
7-8 cups special K

1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Boil Karo Syrup and sugar over medium heat (I do an “overpour of the syrup). Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Add special K and place in pan. Melt chips and spread on top. Chill and serve.

Black Bean Crock Pot Chicken

2-3 frozen chicken breasts
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can corn (drained)
1 jar salsa

Place above in crock pot (I often add an extra can of corn or beans to stretch the amount)
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5.
During last half hour of cooking increase heat to high and place one package cream cheese (can be low fat) on top of the food.
Stir before serving. We usually serve over rice. Yum!

1 packet taco seasoning (sometimes I use two)
