Fritoeroos
If you like Scotcheroos, you are gonna love Fritoeroos! Made the same way as scotcheroos except you substitute crushed Fritos for the cereal used in this classic recipe!
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 cups crushed Fritos
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Lightly butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Measure the crushed fritos and place in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the sugar and white corn syrup. Stir to form a sandy paste. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. The sugar will dissolve and the mixture will become clear. Once the mixture is at a full rolling boil, bubbles that cover the surface, remove from the heat.
- While the syrup mixture is still very hot, stir in the peanut butter. Stir until mixture forms a thick glossy sauce.
- Pour mixture over crushed fritos in large bowl. Stir gently until fritos are completely coated. Pour the frito mixture into the buttered dish. With the back of a buttered spoon or using your buttered hands, firmly and evenly press mixture into prepared dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the chips. Melt the chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until just a few tiny pieces remain. Stir until the last pieces remain.
- Pour the melted chips over the frito mixture, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Smooth melted chips into an even layer with the back of an off-set spatula.
- Let the bars 'set up' for a few hours before serving. Cut into bars.
