Frito Bars — Do This Next
- Start by greasing your 9x13-inch baking pan with a bit of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, light corn syrup, and peanut butter. Stir continuously until smooth and bubbling, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the Fritos. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the Fritos and gently fold until coated.
- Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the mixture and fold them in gently to slightly melt.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press it down evenly and tightly.
- Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate to speed cooling.

Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter to add more texture to the bars.

- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Microwave briefly to soften if bars become too firm.
