Use your favorite Special K Cereal to make deliciously crispy and chewy marshmallow cereal treats. It's easy to make a pan of Special K Bars using the original crisp rice cereal or any other variety of whole-grain flakes.<\/p>\n

\"crispy<\/p>\n

You can use just about any cereal to make marshmallow cereal treats. To date, I've only found one cereal that doesn't work (Sugar Smacks Cereal gets too soggy).<\/p>\n

We've shared recipes to make delicious Frosted Flakes Treats<\/a>, Corn Flakes Treats<\/a>, and even Raisin Bran Crunch Bars<\/a> using cereal flakes so I knew Special K cereal would work great too.<\/p>\n

I have to admit though that I did not realize that the original Special K Cereal is essentially flakes of crisp rice. There is wheat listed in the ingredients, but the cereal tastes very similar to Rice Krispies. When you use the original Special K Cereal to make marshmallow cereal treats, they taste and look very similar to a traditional Rice Krispie Treat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Special<\/p>\n

I had not ever eaten plain Special K Cereal. I typically buy the Special K Fruit and Yogurt Cereal and the first ingredient listed is wheat. The flakes also have rice in them but they have a stronger wheat flavor.<\/p>\n

When experimenting with this recipe, I picked the fruit and yogurt bits out of my box of cereal because I thought the flakes in that cereal were the flakes from the plain Special K Cereal. As it turns out, I was wrong. I also purchased a box of the original cereal and was very surprised to find they tasted more like Rice Krispies Cereal.<\/p>\n

In the end, both treats tasted great. One tasted more of rice while the other tasted more of wheat.\u00a0The moral of the story is that you can use any variety of this cereal to make delicious Special K Bars. Choose your favorite and enjoy!<\/p>\n
