Description
Fritos Peanut Butter Cup Bark is a delightful combination of sweet and salty flavors, featuring creamy peanut butter cups and crunchy Fritos. This no-bake treat is quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups Fritos Original corn chips
Instructions
- Chop the peanut butter cups into small, bite-sized pieces. Aim for roughly the size of a dime so they distribute evenly throughout the bark. Set aside.
- Line a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bark from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, pour in the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for one minute. The chips should start to soften; give them a stir to combine.
- If the chocolate isn’t completely melted after stirring, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval. The chocolate should be glossy and completely smooth — avoid overheating, which can cause it to seize up.
- Once fully melted, add the Fritos corn chips to the chocolate, stirring gently until all chips are thoroughly coated. The chocolate should cover the chips without clumping.
- Pour the chocolate-coated Fritos mixture out onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a rubber spatula to press down and spread the mixture out evenly.
- As you press down, gently break the chips into smaller pieces to ensure even spreading and to create a more manageable bark.
- After spreading the mixture evenly, sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cup pieces over the top. Distribute them evenly for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Lightly press down on the peanut butter cup pieces so they adhere to the chocolate layer. This will ensure they don’t fall off when you break the bark later.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge for one hour to allow the chocolate to set completely. You’ll know it’s ready when the chocolate feels firm to the touch.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, break the bark into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife. Aim for irregular shapes for a rustic look.
- Serve and enjoy this delightful treat! Feel free to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
