No-Bake Stovetop Peanut Butter Special K Cookies

In a medium sauce pan I added 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of white corn syrup (actually only 75% was white, I ran out and topped it off with some regular corn syrup), 1 tsp of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. I brought it to a boil and then turned down the heat a little.

Carefully add 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter. Stir to melt into the mixture

Add four cups of Special K cereal and stir to combine.

At the last second I decided I wanted a hint of chocolate so I threw in a handful of chocolate chips and stirred until just melted.
