How to Make Lower Fat Special K Bars

Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the light corn syrup and light brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the reduced-fat peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Add the Special K cereal and raisins to the peanut butter mixture.
Stir thoroughly until all the cereal and raisins are evenly coated with the syrup mixture.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared 13x9 inch pan using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
Cut into bars and enjoy!
