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!

Extra folks must read this and perceive this aspect of the story. I cant imagine youre no more popular since you undoubtedly have the gift.
