This recipe for Salted Caramel Cracker Bites is a little sweet, a little salty, bite-sized and so easy to make!
Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- non-stick cooking spray
- Large Pan
- rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 4 cups oyster crackers I used Nabisco Premium Oyster Crackers.
- ¾ cup butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract I highly recommend using vanilla paste.
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil) and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread your crackers in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- In a large pan on medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and vanilla. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved.
- Turn up the heat until the mixture begins to boil. Stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes while the mixture gets bubbly and lighter in color.
- Turn off the heat and quickly pour over the top of the crackers. Mix gently with a rubber spatula until all of the crackers are completely coated.
- Sprinkle the kosher salt over the top of the crackers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Allow the crackers to cool, then break into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
You can combine 3 TB granulated sugar and 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon to sprinkle on top after baking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a kick.
