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:
- Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Arrange crackers:
- Lay the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- 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.
- Top crackers:
- Spoon or drizzle caramel over each cracker evenly.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on top immediately while caramel is still warm.
- 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.
- Finish:
- Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a sweet-salty flavor boost.
- Once cooled and set, serve or store in an airtight container.
