Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake dessert combining salty Fritos, creamy peanut butter, and melted chocolate for a sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag of Fritos Corn Chips (regular or scoops)
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Place the Fritos in a large mixing bowl and gently crush them into smaller pieces using your hands or a rolling pin.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crushed Fritos and stir until they’re evenly coated. Then, pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for melting.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the Fritos and peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
  7. Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to firm up. If you’re short on time, you can freeze them for about 30 minutes.
  8. Once the bars are set, remove them from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

[‘Don’t overheat the peanut butter mixture to avoid affecting the texture.’, ‘Use fresh Fritos for the best crunch.’, ‘Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling.’, ‘Chill the bars completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like flaky sea salt or crushed nuts for added flavor.’]
