Ingredients

• 8 cups Fritos corn chips
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the paper hangs slightly over the edges for easy lifting later.

Step 2

Spread the Fritos corn chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the light corn syrup and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble and the sugar is fully dissolved, approximately 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the warm peanut butter mixture evenly over the Fritos, ensuring all chips are coated with the gooey caramel sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the peanut butter-coated Fritos while the mixture is still warm. Allow the chocolate chips to soften for 2-3 minutes, then gently spread them into a thin layer over the surface using a spatula.

Step 7

Let the Fruckies cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. For faster results, you can place the dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Once set, lift the Fruckies out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper and place them on a cutting board. Slice into 12 equal squares or bars.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy the sweet and salty crunch of your Funky Frito Fruckies!
