Crock-Pot Chocolate Frito Candy - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

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.
