Ingredients
– 1 package (9 ounces) oyster crackers Provides the crunchy base
– 1 cup (2 sticks) butter Creates the caramel richness
– 1 cup brown sugar Adds sweetness and color
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Enhances flavor depth
– Β½ teaspoon cinnamon Brings warm spice notes
– 1 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness
Instructions
1-Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for even results and easy cleanup.
2-Spread crackers evenly: First, spread the oyster crackers evenly on the lined baking sheet to create a solid base.
3-Melt and mix caramel ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully dissolved. This step builds the caramel magic that coats the crackers just right.
4-Boil and thicken caramel: Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the caramel thickens and lightens in color.
5-Pour over crackers and add salt: Once itβs ready, remove from heat and pour it over the crackers, folding to coat them evenly. Sprinkle with the salt for that perfect finishing touch,
6-Bake and cool: then bake for 7 to 9 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning. After baking, let the mixture cool, then break it into small clusters for easy serving.
