I had a neighbor years ago who used to make this and I hadn't thought about it in years. I wasn't able to get her recipe but I thought yours looked pretty good (although I didn't add the Fritos). I baked them, stirring them according to the directions, and the mix at the bottom of the pan is just swimming in oil. Does it need to be dried out somehow before storing? I put a thin layer on a cookie sheet in the oven at 200°F to see if that dries it out some
