Crunchy corn chips coated in creamy peanut butter and chocolate come together in a no-bake candy that disappears fast at parties, holidays, or anytime you want something fun and nostalgic.
Ingredients:
4 cups Fritos corn chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, gently mix the Fritos with the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the chips too much.
Scoop small clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a spoon or small cookie scoop.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate over each cluster, covering the tops.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Once firm, transfer the candies to an airtight container.
Serving and Storage:
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Tips and Variations:
Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Add chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
Drizzle with white chocolate for a decorative finish.
Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt before chilling for extra contrast.
Sweet, salty, crunchy, and creamy all at once, this peanut butter Fritos candy is the kind of old-fashioned treat people try once and then immediately ask for the recipe.
