Boulder+Locavore+frito+pie+527This is such an awesome way to serve many people – and many think it is just a fairground food. Think of it as a quick serve to a large group of people with little clean up.

1: Slit bag along the side to completely open it.

2: Pour a ladle of your favorite chilli over top

3: Put chopped up onion (raw or fried) and you can also use chopped green onions (raw or fried)

4: Put cheddar (or mozzarella) on top

5: Have the recipient pinch the top of the bag to seal in the heat and melt the cheese

6:  Dig in – its really good

Change ups: This is the basic ingredients you can add but think about offering a variety of things: cut up cooked hot dogs, tomatoes diced. Also think about making this a different way (the Italian way): add a meatball and mozzarella to Ruffles along with tomatoes, tomato sauce. Think more Mexican: top Frito’s (or Doritos) with taco seasoned meat and trim it out the same way you make tacos

Use a gold or silver paint pen and trace  a square on top of each square as seen in the picture. Take a six inch length of ribbon (this can be color co-ordinated to work with the schools color just as the black poster board can be changed) and glue it to the top of the black poster board. Hot glue the black square with the square you made on it facing up to the small end of a mini Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup. Top with a small black sequin or bead to cover the glued ends of the ribbon to make a finished look.
