Caramel Peanut Ritz Cracker Treats
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup salted peanuts (or any type of nuts you prefer)
- 24 Ritz crackers (or more, depending on how many you want to make)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- A pinch of salt (optional, to balance the sweetness)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pan: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Lay the Ritz crackers out in a single layer on the tray.
-
Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and milk. Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is smooth and thickened.
-
Add the Vanilla (Optional): Once the caramel is ready, stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. (You can also add a pinch of salt here if you want to enhance the caramel flavor.)
-
Pour the Caramel: Carefully pour the caramel over the Ritz crackers, making sure they are evenly covered. You can use a spoon to help spread it out if needed.
-
Add the Peanuts: Sprinkle the salted peanuts (or your chosen nuts) evenly over the caramel-covered crackers. Gently press the nuts down to help them stick.
-
Chill to Set: Place the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the caramel harden and the crackers set.
-
Serve: Once the caramel is firm, break the treats into bite-sized pieces and serve!
These caramel peanut Ritz cracker treats are sweet, salty, and crunchy. The buttery caramel pairs perfectly with the Ritz crackers and peanuts, making for an addictive snack. Enjoy!
