Special K Bars

I have been addicted to peanut butter as of lately. My whole life I have hated peanut butter, but I woke up one day recently and was craving it (and no, I'm not pregnant)! I've developed a bad habit of eating heaping spoonfuls throughout the day, topped with chocolate chips. YUM! Anyway, since I had a few of the ingredients already, I decided to make Special K bars.

Karo syrup = 893 yen = $10.70
Chocolate chips = 600 yen = $7.19
Peanut butter = 650 yen = $7.80
Sugar = 230 yen = $2.75
Small box of Special K = 400 yen = $4.80

Grand total to make Special K bars: $33.24. It's was expensive, but worth every bite! The pan was gone in 2 days.

I will never complain about food prices in the U.S. again! Many of you have been asking about prices and expenses in Japan... the next time I go grocery shopping, I will blog it....

  2. Imported foods are very expensive here, especially at Meidi-Ya, try another shop like Seijyo-Ishii at Asunaru(Kanayama Station) or online shop "The flying pig"

  3. I knew they wouldn't last long, and actually lasted longer than I would have thought, knowing Joe!
