Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter.
Stir to combine and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently stir in the corn chips until all lightly coated.
Drop by spoonful on a parchment lined baking tray. I usually do two tablespoonfuls.
Let the candy set up for 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
Using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate over the candies.
Top with sprinkles with desired. Serve once they are cooled completely.
