Description

Deliciously crunchy Ritz Bits peanut butter crackers coated in a buttery cinnamon caramel glaze, baked to bubbly perfection and sprinkled with a sweet cinnamon-sugar blend for the ultimate churro-inspired snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Ritz Bits peanut butter crackers
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and spread crackers evenly across it.
  2. In a saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
  3. Remove from heat, then stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the mixture immediately over the crackers, spreading quickly before it hardens.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes or until bubbly.
  6. Mix granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt together. Sprinkle evenly over the hot crackers.
  7. Let cool completely, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Work quickly when pouring caramel over crackers to ensure even coating.
  • Use parchment or foil to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Let the crackers cool fully before breaking for best texture.
  • Store in airtight container to maintain crunch.
