Deliciously sweet and crunchy Caramel Crackers featuring oyster crackers coated in a rich homemade caramel glaze with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, baked to perfection for an irresistible snack or dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crackers

  • 1 package (9 ounces) oyster crackers

Caramel Coating

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the oyster crackers evenly in a single layer.
  2. Make Caramel: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, letting it cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously until it thickens and becomes smooth.
  3. Coat Crackers: Pour the warm caramel sauce evenly over the crackers, gently stirring or tossing to ensure every cracker is thoroughly coated. Then, sprinkle the salt evenly over the coated crackers to enhance the caramel’s flavor.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7-9 minutes. Keep a close eye on the crackers during this time to prevent the caramel from burning or overcooking.
  5. Finish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the caramel crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break them into clusters for serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Watch the crackers closely while baking to avoid burning the caramel.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Allow crackers to cool completely before breaking to ensure clusters hold together.
  • You can adjust cinnamon and salt to taste for preferred sweetness and spice balance.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
