πŸͺ Ritz Churro Bites are a quick and easy sweet snack combining crispy peanut butter crackers with rich cinnamon sugar flavor.
✨ Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal effort and delightful crunchy texture.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings

Ingredients

– 8.8 ounces peanut butter cracker sandwiches

– Β½ cup salted sweet cream butter

– β…“ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed

– ΒΎ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

– Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

– ΒΎ teaspoon ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

1-First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F and line a baking sheet with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil for even cooking. This step sets the stage for crisp, golden treats that capture the spirit of churro snacks.

2-Next, spread the 8.8 ounces of peanut butter cracker sandwiches in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a 2 to 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Β½ cup salted sweet cream butter, β…“ cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, ΒΎ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Bring this mixture to a low boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently for 1 to 1Β½ minutes until it’s smooth and bubbly.

3-Remove the saucepan from the heat and spoon the butter mixture over the cracker sandwiches. Use tongs or a silicone spatula to toss and coat them evenly, ensuring every bite gets that sweet, sticky goodness. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the crackers to crisp up.

Finishing Touches and Baking While the crackers bake, mix 3 tablespoons granulated sugar with the remaining ΒΎ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the baking time is up, take the sheet out of the oven and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the hot crackers for that classic churro finish. Let everything cool completely on the sheet, then break the coated crackers into bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
