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!

We don’t have Fritos here in Brazil… Is Doritos the same kind of snack? Can I use it for this recipe? Thanks!
It’s a salty corn chip! So I don’t think Doritos would work…
Hi I’m in the UK, Can you tell me what Fritos scoops are please?
Thank you
It’s a thick, salty corn chip!
Not sure we have anything like that here.
I live in Australia, and I’ve never heard of frito. Could you please explain what it is..
Thank you

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.
I can’t believe I just left a comment but didn’t write my website correctly! Long day!
LOL glad I’m not the only one!
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!
Frito bars- what is the pan size?
9×13!
I told the people at my workplace, about this recipe. One of them said, that she “like to try to make them”
My son would love me forever if I made these for him:) Thanks so much for posting this great recipe!!
Thanks Julie!
What a crazy awesome combo! I love sweet and salty!
Thanks Brianne!
What a fun salty/sweet twist. I heart Fritos!!
It’s like a perfect marriage of food!!
Fritos in a cookie bar? I gotta try these! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Totally. They might be life changing 🙂
Can you make a version using Nutella® ? Not everybody likes, or can’t eat peanut butter.
Holy YUM!! Must try some!
Are you kidding me, Julie??? These are insane! … in a good way, of course. 🙂
