Ingredients
Scale
Fritos Candy:
- 1 bag (10.5 oz) original Fritos corn chips (about 4 cups)
Peanut Butter Mixture:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Optional Chocolate Drizzle:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Layer Fritos: Spread the Fritos evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbling. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
- Coat Fritos: Immediately pour the peanut butter mixture over the Fritos, spreading it evenly with a spatula to coat all the chips.
- Add Chocolate Drizzle: If using, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the candy cool at room temperature until set, about 1 hour. Cut into bars or break into chunks to serve.
Notes
- For a salty-sweet twist, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while the candy is still warm.
- This treat can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
