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 pieces, about the size of a dime. This ensures they distribute evenly throughout the bark. Set aside.
- Line a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for one minute. Keep an eye on it to avoid scorching the chocolate.
- After one minute, stir the chocolate well. If it isn’t completely melted, return it to the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
- Add the Fritos to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until every chip is well coated. You’ll know it’s ready when you see no dry chips left.
- Pour the chocolate-covered Fritos onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan. Don't worry if some chips break; it helps with spreading!
- While spreading, press down gently with the spatula to help compact the mixture together. This will create a solid bark when it sets.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups evenly over the top of the chocolate-covered Fritos. Press down gently to ensure they adhere.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for one hour to allow the chocolate to set completely. You’ll know it’s ready when the surface feels firm to the touch.
- Once hardened, remove it from the fridge and break the bark into pieces using your hands or a knife. Enjoy your sweet and salty creation!

Keywords: One common mistake is over-melting the chocolate. Aim for a smooth consistency without burning it, as burnt chocolate will taste bitter. For the best texture, don’t skip the chilling step. Allowing the chocolate to set properly ensures a clean break when you cut or break the bark into pieces.
