Instructions
- Lightly crush the Fritos in a bowl, keeping some texture for crunch.

- Scoop small portions and roll into bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals,
stirring until smooth. - Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly, and return to the tray.
- Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Description
These candy bites deliver the perfect balance of crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty flavors.
The Fritos add an unexpected crunch, while peanut butter and chocolate create a classic candy-style treat.
Tips
- Use smooth peanut butter for the best texture and binding.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before the chocolate sets for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Try dark or white chocolate for a fun variation.
Correction
- Do not over-crush the Fritos; they should remain crunchy.
- Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent burning or seizing.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of extra peanut butter.
