Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine sugar and white syrup. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until peanut butter is melted and combined.
Pour over Frito's and mix well.
Pour 1/2 of Frito mixture into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips over the top. Spread remaining half of Frito mixture and sprinkle with remaining half cup of mini chocolate chips.
Let stand until set. Cut into bars.
Notes
vOnce the bars are set, you can cover the pan with plastic wrap and store them at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.You can also freeze them for several months! I like to slice them into bars and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped Frito peanut butter bars in a freezer bag and they will keep well for several months.No-Bake Bars Variations
Instead of creamy peanut butter, try crunchy peanut butter to add a different texture.
You can use any kind of chocolate chips for this recipe including white chocolate chips.
Or, swap the chocolate chips for Reese’s pieces, chopped peanut butter cups, or M&Ms.
I think some sprinkles on top would be cute, too! You can use different colors to match the holiday or event you’re serving them at.
