Tips and Tricks For Butterscotch Frito Snacks:

• Use the original Frito chips that have NO FLAVORING. (No barbecue Frito chips and no scoops, just the originals).
• You can use any candy bars that you like.
• Gently press the chopped candy into the chocolate before it sets up, this will allow the candy to stick to the chocolate better.
• Don’t worry too much about breaking up the Frito’s as they will stay together well, with the melted chocolate.
• When melting the chocolate in the microwave, either melt it in 30 second or 1 minute intervals on power level 5.
• Chop the bark with a sharp knife or break with your finger into chunks.
• Place the bark in a cut bag or a clear bag and give to friends or family.
• Another trick is to just use butterscotch chips and do not break up the Frito’s and tell your youngsters that this is called “Witch Fingers”.
• Use different colored sprinkles for different holidays (this snack is not necessarily just for Halloween)!
