How to Make Fritos Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the bag of Fritos® in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and Karo® corn syrup. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
  5. Carefully drizzle the peanut butter mixture evenly over the Fritos® on the baking sheet, ensuring all chips are coated.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the mixture are lightly golden brown and the caramel is set. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once completely cool, break into bite-sized pieces.
