Ritz Crackers

Here’s a simple recipe to make these at home:

Caramel Nut Ritz Crackers

Ingredients:

• Ritz crackers (about 40–50 pieces)
• 1 cup caramel bits or caramel candies (or use soft caramel squares)
• 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
• ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or peanuts)
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Arrange crackers:
   • Lay the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
3. Melt caramel:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel bits and heavy cream.
   • Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.
4. Top crackers:
   • Spoon or drizzle caramel over each cracker evenly.
   • Sprinkle chopped nuts on top immediately while caramel is still warm.
5. Bake:
   • Bake for about 5-7 minutes until caramel softens and nuts lightly toast.
   • Remove from oven and let cool completely to allow caramel to set.
6. Finish:
   • Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty flavor boost.
   • Once cooled and set, serve or store in an airtight container.
