Sweet, Salty, Frito Candy Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 13×9 inch pan with parchment paper or no-stick (Release) foil (I used regular foil with no problem).
  • Place pretzels in food processor and pulse to break – don’t pulverize Add fritos, pulse to break(I just crushed the Fritos and pretzels up by hand. Honestly, sometimes it just requires too much effort to drag out the food processor, especially if I don't know where all the parts are :) Dump into pan. Unwrap peanut butter cups (break each into 4 pieces) and throw them in the mix.
  • Place butter in a non-stick saucepan and melt over medium heat. When butter is melted, stir in brown sugar. Bring mixture to a full boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring once or twice. Pour over Frito mixture and bake for 8 minutes
  • Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over hot candy. Return to oven for 1 minute to soften chips. Spread softened chocolate chips over bars. Sprinkle with peanuts and Reese's Pieces.Cool at room temperature until you feel the pan is cool enough to be transferred to your refrigerator, then transfer to refrigerator to set the chocolate. When chocolate is set, lift from pan and break the candy up as you would toffee. You can eat it cold or let it come back down to room temp. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated.
