Peanut Butter Fritos Candy


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Candy:

  • 2 cups Fritos corn chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

  1. Melt the Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and half of the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  2. Combine with Fritos: Gently fold in the Fritos corn chips, ensuring they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Melt the Chocolate

  1. Melt Remaining Chocolate: In a separate bowl, melt the remaining chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.

Coat the Fritos

  1. Drizzle Chocolate: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the peanut butter Fritos mixture onto the parchment, forming clusters. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top, ensuring each cluster is generously coated.

Chill and Set

  1. Refrigerate: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
