Description
Salted Caramel Cracker Bites are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, featuring crispy crackers coated in a rich caramel glaze and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt. This easy, addictive treat is perfect for snacking, dessert, or gift-giving.
Ingredients
2 cups oyster crackers
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar (dark or light)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour the caramel sauce over the oyster crackers and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Let cool completely before breaking into clusters.
Notes
Make sure to watch the caramel closely as it can burn quickly.
You can substitute other types of crackers if you prefer, but oyster crackers give the best results.
These treats store well in an airtight container for up to a week or can be frozen for longer storage.
