Sweet, Salty, Trashy Candy Stuff

 

2 cups pretzels

1 cup Fritos

8 mini peanut butter cups

1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or however

many you want)

 

Optional: Some peanuts for the top

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and

line a 13x9 inch pan with parchment

paper or no-stick (Release) foil.

 

Place pretzels in food processor and pulse

to break – don’t pulverize.

 

Add Fritos to processor and break them up

with pretzels.

 

Dump into pan.

 

Unwrap peanut butter cups and throw them

in the mix. It should look similar to

this, keeping in mind this is a half

batch.

 

Place butter in a non-stick saucepan and

melt over medium heat.

 

When butter is melted, stir in brown sugar.

 

Bring mixture to a full boil and boil for

1 minute, stirring once or twice.

 

Pour over Frito mixture and bake for 8

minutes.

 

Remove pan from oven and sprinkle

chocolate chips over hot candy.

 

Return to oven for 1 minute to soften

chips.

 

Spread softened chocolate chips over

bars.

 

Cool at room temperature until you feel

the pan is cool enough to be transfered

to your refrigerator, then transfer to

refrigerator to set the chocolate.

 

When chocolate is set, lift from pan and

break the candy up as you would almond

toffee.

 

You can eat it cold or let it come back

down to room temp.

 

It doesn't have to be refrigerated,

really.

 

The finished product should look

like this.
