White Chocolate Frito Bars ~ These gooey bars are the perfect sweet and salty combination we all love and crave!
You know a treat is good when your co-workers from different offices start emailing and calling you about the bars that someone brought in. I would like to refer to these bars as “Crack”.
They have the perfect amount of salty and sweet combined in one amazing bar. Take the Frito, which on it’s own is pretty dang amazing in my opinion, then top it with a peanut butter sauce and vanilla Candiquick.
Life changing. It’s like a plain old Scotch-a-roo, which really knocks my socks off, amped up on crack. So it knocks my clothes off. Well, not really cause no one wants to see that, but you get the picture.
If you are looking for a sweet and salty treat that will become famous when you make them here you go. Just be prepared for a lot of guests and unexpected friends to come over as you become the talk of the town!
Make sure you don’t miss any of the fun stuff Julie’s Eats & Treats is up too!

September 9, 2013 at 10:21 amThese look amazing! Any idea how these might hold up and stay fresh if shipped? My son is deployed overseas and I am wanting to send a goodie/care package. Thanks!

November 19, 2013 at 9:45 pmI make a frito sweet dish that I call crack, too! It is so addictive that I have to be very selective when I make it so I don’t eat it all! I can’t wait to try your recipe.

June 1, 2014 at 7:44 amWe don’t have Fritos here in Brazil… Is Doritos the same kind of snack? Can I use it for this recipe? Thanks!
Julie Evink says
June 3, 2014 at 11:22 amIt’s a salty corn chip! So I don’t think Doritos would work…
