Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure the paper hangs slightly over the edges for easy lifting later.
Spread the Fritos corn chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish and set aside.
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.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the warm peanut butter mixture evenly over the Fritos, ensuring all chips are coated with the gooey caramel sauce.
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.
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.
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.
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!
