White Chocolate Frito Popcorn
I like love Frito’s. In fact, I’m pretty sure they have crack in them. Especially the Frito’s Scoops. They simply have a perfect amount salt and corn and crunch. They’re perfect. If you’ve been reading for a while, you may have picked up on my love of Frito’s.
I made Frito Candy over four years ago! I think that was the first time I had Frito’s and chocolate. Then I was inspired about a year and a half later to take a stab at putting Frito’s into a cupcake. They were delicious but not very pretty. Then last year, I perfected the Frito Cupcake. Seriously, those guys are dangerously delicious.
So yea, I love Frito’s. So when I saw this recipe I knew I’d be making it soon. It makes the perfect snack because it’s sweet and salty in a perfect ratio. The white chocolate binds all the delicious pieces together and the M&Ms give a great pop of color and chocolate! I (obviously) used Scoops for this recipe. This recipe can be cut in half or doubled easily. I used homemade microwave popcorn.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
oh no! that’s too bad he had to guess… they look awesome and i bet they taste better too!
I will GLADLY be your taste tester for all these candy bars! Looks great!
these look amazing!!! I want to try all three kinds 🙂 How do you think these would hold up if I gave them out as gifts a day or two after making them? Do they have to be refrigerated?
I kind of want to go trick or treating at your house with these candies! I got a recipe from King Arthur Flour to make Twix bars that I’m dying to try out!
Laura – I don’t know if they have to be refrigerated. I kept mine in the freezer and we snacked on them for over a week.
Fun and Fearless – If you decide to make Twix – let me know cause I want in on that!
This is an entire blog about candy, chocolate bars, and sugary stuff? I think I have just fallen in love.
I didn’t read down far enough in the post, I got too excited when I realized what I had stumbled upon, but i have to go back to see if you gave the Snicker’s bar recipe!
I’m sooooo going trick-or-treating at your place! You are amazing with your baking skills, absolutely amazing.
Those look delicious!!!
These look great! Thank you for submitting these to the ATTYC event!
Snickers bars are definitely my favorite candy as well and I’m trying to stay away from them due to all the junk that’s in the ingredients list. I may have to make these some day (saving the recipe!).
Your husband is hilarious – mine would probably have the same reaction. 🙂
These look so yummy! 🙂 How many Kraft caramels did you use? Thanks.
As opposed to changing items to perform the chilly table with their benefit, a lot of
people are therefore stubborn or stupid that they simply won’t adjust.
