Chocolate Covered Fritos



Chocolate Covered Fritos

If you like that salty-sweet combination - then you must try this delight!
I think it comes close to the chocolate covered pretzel.  Nothing more to say - the pictures speak for themselves.

Stirring the Fritos until covered with the melted chocolate mixture.

1/2 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cups fritos

Melt the chocolate chips, butter and peanut oil together (the purpose of adding the oil & butter is to make the chocolate a little softer - if you add too much butter or oil then the chocolate will never harden).  In a mixing bowl - stir together the fritos and the melted chocolate mixture until all of the fritos are covered.  Spread the chocolate covered Fritos on a wax paper lined plate and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes (or until chocolate hardens) - remove and
ENJOY!!

  7. Fritos? Chocolate? I'm in!! Hey, do you have to use peanut oil?

    1. You can use 1 tablespoon of butter instead.....the peanut oil has no taste and really does the best job of keeping the chocolate "bitable" (increasing the butter to 1 tblspoon should work almost as well).
      Enjoy!
