Crock-Pot Chocolate Frito Candy image

Interesting candy recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking. Just think this uses LEFTOVER Fritos for a sweet instead of a savory entree. I once had chocolate covered potato chips and thought they were super so think this would be good too. (Big thinker here.) She claims that Fritos are gluten free-surprises me. I realize that you can buy gluten free pretzels. I am not labeling this gluten free unless someone with the knowledge informs me it is appropriate. If you want to try this in the microwave instead that is fine with me. I doubt that this recipe would work in a crock pot bigger than 4 quart-am suspicious that it would burn.

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter
12 ounces chocolate chips
2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (optional)
2 cups Fritos corn chips
2 cups pretzels

Steps:

  • Put the Fritos and the pretzels in a large Ziploc and smash until crumby; set aside.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the butter, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and brown sugar, into your crockpot and set on high for 1-2 hours or until everything is really melty and you can mix it well. (Hers took 1 hour, 15 minutes to melt nicely in a 6 quart crock pot. Remember the size of crock pot determines the length of cooking time in crock pot cooking.).
  • Stir in pretzels and Frito pieces.
  • Using oven mits (use them! The crock is hot! Do not get burned.) dump the hot candy out onto your lined cookie sheet and spread out with a wooden spoon.
  • Sprinkle the peanut pieces on top.
  • Put the pan in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until candy has set completely.
  • Break into pieces.
