Chocolate Covered Fritos

Fritos are good. But what's better than fritos? Chocolate-covered fritos. Now, I'm not sure if there's already a tutorial for this but I HAD to share.

This snack is SUPER easy and quick... but arguably, not very healthy :( (oh, they're delicious as well)

Let's begin!

What you'll need:

(pictured)

• Fritos (I used 12 fritos - it might not seem like a lot, but they're not something you eat a ton of :)
• Chocolate (I use Ghirardelli baking chocolate, 60% cocoa)
• Wax Paper

(not pictured)

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Spoon

Sorry for horrible pictures. The lighting in my house is awful.

Lay out 12 fritos on a length of paper. (I didn't think about this earlier, but it might be nice to put the wax paper on a tray first.)

Pour 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into your microwave-safe bowl.

NOTE: I am not a professional chef, nor do I specialize in candy-making (the burnt smell of sugar and flavoring in my house makes this sort of evident, lol) so I'm using the microwave to melt my chocolate.

Microwave for 2 minutes. (Or until the chocolate looks like Picture #1)

Stir it up until it's smooth.

There's two ways you can cover the fritos: the dump method (picture 4) where you dump the chocolate into the waiting frito; or the dip method, (pictures 5&6) where you dip the frito into the bowl and completely cover it in chocolate. I prefer the dip method.

Whichever method you use, make sure to cover ALL of the fritos in chocolate... and don't eat too many in the process.

To store your fritos, refrigerate them.

... the leftover chocolate tastes good, too...

... y'know, I don't let anything with chocolate in it go to waste.
