Main Ingredients
- 1 package oyster crackers (9 ounces)
- 2 sticks butter (1 cup)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare: Heat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the oyster crackers evenly across the sheet.
- Make Caramel: In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined and let the mixture bubble gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Assemble: Immediately drizzle the warm caramel mixture evenly over the oysters crackers, ensuring each cracker is coated thoroughly. Then sprinkle the salt evenly over the top to balance the sweetness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-9 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning and allow the caramel to set.
- Finish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the parchment paper. Once cooled, break them into smaller chunks and store in an airtight container for freshness.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel or it may burn and taste bitter.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with flaky sea salt instead of regular salt.
- Store the treats in a sealed container at room temperature to maintain crispiness.
- Allow the treats to cool fully before breaking to prevent crumbling.
