Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (9 oz) package oyster crackers
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Spread the oyster crackers evenly across the prepared baking sheet to ensure even coating and baking.
  3. Make Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil and keep boiling for 2–3 minutes while stirring to develop the caramel consistency.
  4. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt for flavor balance and depth.
  5. Coat Crackers: Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the oyster crackers on the baking sheet. Toss or gently stir the crackers to coat them thoroughly in the caramel sauce.

  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the crackers to cool completely to harden the caramel coating. Once cooled, break apart any clusters, and serve as a crunchy sweet snack.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir the caramel continuously while boiling to avoid burning.
  • Cool the crackers completely before breaking to ensure the caramel is set properly.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the crackers crispy.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg to the caramel mixture.
