You know a treat is good when your co-workers from different offices start emailing and calling you about the bars that someone brought it. 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!

Julie Evink
Thanks Steph!
Nicole
What is white syrup?
Julie Evink
Same as light corn syrup. I’ve updated the recipe!
Nicole
Thank you! These look to good to pass up!
Diana
I’ve never heard of white syrup. What is it?
Julie Evink
Same as light corn syrup. I’ve updated the recipe!
Veronica
This is neat – I’ve never seen it called white syrup anywhere besides on a recipe my 94-year-old grandmother gave me, which she got from her own Grandmother. I think it must have been called that before we started calling it corn syrup!
Julie Evink
Funny you should say that. It’s probably an old recipe. I got it from a lady at work!
Tina @ Tina's Chic Corner
These bars look amazing! What awesome validation from those co-workers. 🙂
Mary.
You never said, to “chill for about an hour before cutting into squares” right?
Tanya Schroeder
Fritos are soooo good! I’d say this is THE perfect salty sweet combo Julie! Do you really need to refrigerate for an hour? I’m not sure I could wait, I’d probably cut into them right after I drizzle on the chocolate!
Julie Evink
Nope I just left them on my counter to cool. You can dig right in just be ready for a mess like I was. I couldn’t wait!
Shelby
I’ve had a similar bar before — but it was just the Fritos spread out in the bottom of a pan and then the pb mixture poured over the top and then drizzled with chocolate. That way though you get a lot of chips that barely have anything on them. I like the idea of mixing it up together so everything gets coated well…not sure why I never thought of that before?! Genious! I might just make some this weekend. I can almost taste that salty sweet amazingness already. Thanks 🙂
Julie Evink
This recipe actually started as that recipe! I just changed a few things to make my own twist on it of course! You’ll have to let me know if you like them!
renee dwyer@chocolatepeanutbutterohmy

Can you make a version using Nutella® ? Not everybody likes, or can’t eat peanut butter.

Frito bars- what is the pan size?
Julie Evink
9×13!
Kellie
These 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!
Catherine
I 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.
Catherine
I can’t believe I just left a comment but didn’t write my website correctly! Long day!
Julie Evink
LOL glad I’m not the only one!

Hi I’m in the UK, Can you tell me what Fritos scoops are please?
Thank you
Julie Evink

glenda
Not sure we have anything like that here.
Fernanda Mello
We don’t have Fritos here in Brazil… Is Doritos the same kind of snack? Can I use it for this recipe? Thanks!
Julie Evink
It’s a salty corn chip! So I don’t think Doritos would work…
