Ingredients

  • 2 9.25 oz bags Fritos
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 1 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • 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

v
Once 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.
