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
Ingredients
- 4 cups of thin pretzels, broken up into 1/2 pieces shopping list
- ** I used a bag of the peanut butter filled pretzels with great success instead of the pretzels. shopping list
