Kookaburra's FRITO PIE !!

I don't have a picture for this one, but this recipe is as simple as rice krispie treats and just as addictive!!
My kids love making it and of course eating it.



1 cup Karo Syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 16 0z bag of FRITO corn chips

Directions
1. Pour 1/2 of the bag of chips in a 91/2 x 11 cake pan or plastic tupperware container.

2. In a sauce pan add syrup and sugar and dissolve over medium heat. Pull off heat and add peanut butter and stir until peanut butter is well incorporated.

3. Pour 1/2 warm peanut butter mix over chips. Layer the rest of the bag of chips next and pour remaining peanut butter over top.
Let it cool before serving.

My kids love it with a layer of chocolate chips, add nuts, m&m's.. GO CRAZY!! It's salty sweet goodness, similar to the taste of a Payday candy bar!! Awesome with a little ice cream and a good chick flick too!!
