Ooo. This sounds good. I'm an oyster cracker freak. Premium brand are
the best. Maybe
lighten up on the oil, or sub Bertolli's light olive oil to lower the
fat content?

No reason not to :) I got this "recipe" around 1987. Anything goes since
then!

We do this to you just for fun!
I always thought they were called that as they used to be served with oyster
stew.
They are very often served here with soup instead of saltine crackers.

And I thought they were called that because they were the same general
*shape* as an oyster...

PS - I think I might adopt the expression "What the meow?" :)

Well, first of all, remember that "crackers" in American are NOT
"crackers" in English (they're something to eat, not exploding twists of
paper with favors inside). Does "saltine" mean anything to you? Oyster
crackers are sort of miniature, round saltines, used instead of croutons
in soup (originally in oyster stew). There are a number of commercial
snack-crackers (such as "goldfish") to which I am somewhat addicted, but
Jill's recipe sounds even better!

No, Matthew, I didn't. I don't click on links posted (or emailed to me) by
someone who just appears out of nowhere.

Any post that says:

IS spam.

I don't even cook, and I want to post a recipe!
I have made these, but it's been many years:
Special K bars.
Combine 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup Karo(corn) syrup in a medium/large
sauce pan; heat slowly to barely a boil.
Remove from stove and add:
1 to 1.5 cup smooth peanut butter; stir into syrup. Mix well, then add:
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 cups Special K cereal.
Mix well
Put into a 13 inch by 9 inch pan coated with butter/margarine. Press
firmly into pan.
In a spall pan melt together 6-8oz. chocolate and 6-8oz. butterscotch
chips.
Smooth over bar mix; allow to cool.
These are incredibly high in calories, and very, very good.
There is a store near where I work where they sell (fairly large) bars
like this for US $1.95/ea(!)
I still buy them occasionally, as cooking (aside from grilling) is not
something I enjoy.

What's the point of Special K cereal in a very high calorie snack?! LOLOL
