Salted Caramel Cracker Bites are a deliciously sweet and salty snack featuring crispy oyster crackers coated in a rich homemade caramel sauce, baked to perfection and sprinkled with a touch of salt for balance.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 ounces) oyster crackers
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the oyster crackers evenly on it to ensure even caramel coating and baking.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Boil Caramel Sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a caramel sauce.
  4. Coat Crackers: Pour the hot caramel sauce over the crackers on the baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to evenly coat all crackers thoroughly with the caramel mixture.
  5. Sprinkle Salt and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of salt over the coated crackers. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning and ensure a perfect caramel crisp.
  6. Cool and Break into Clusters: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the caramelized crackers to cool completely on the parchment paper. Once cooled, break into bite-sized clusters for serving.
  7. Store: Store the clusters in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Watch closely during baking to avoid burning the caramel.
  • Allow the clusters to cool completely for easy breaking and better texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or nutmeg to the caramel sauce.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
