CROCK-POT CHOCOLATE FRITO CANDY

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.

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 3h25m

Yield 30 to 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 pounds salted dry-roasted peanuts
4 ounces German's sweet chocolate (about 4 squares)
One 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
2 1/2 pounds white almond bark

Steps:

Put the peanuts in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker. Layer the chocolate over the peanuts, beginning with the sweet chocolate, followed by the chocolate chips and then the almond bark. Set the temperature on low and cook for 3 hours. Do not stir the mixture. After 3 hours, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Drop the candy into cupcake pan liners using about 2 tablespoons per liner. Allow the candy to cool completely before removing the cupcake liners.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this recipe in a regular saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes.
To make the candy even more festive, add some sprinkles, nuts, or chopped dried fruit before pouring it into the prepared pan.
Be sure to let the candy cool completely before cutting it into pieces, otherwise it will be too soft and gooey.
Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, crockpot chocolate Fritos candy is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a sweet snack to share with friends or a festive dessert for a party, this recipe is sure to please. So gather your ingredients, plug in your slow cooker, and get ready to enjoy this delicious and unique candy!
