A great combination of standard munchie food that goes above and beyond your basic snack and candy recipe. This is a great and surprising treat that is a real people pleaser. **I'd like to give credit to Anna at Cookiemadness for her original recipe called "Frito Candy. Read more " It inspired me to recreate the recipe for one of my own. See less

Absolutely wonderful combination of salt, sweet and chocolate. Made something very similar from momma's recipe file and it vanished in minutes from the bowl.
