Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sleeve Saltine Crackers 15-oz sleeve
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter 2 sticks
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Packed
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar For topping
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon For topping
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional, adds depth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the baking sheet fully.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until it becomes smooth and slightly bubbling. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes.
  4. Carefully pour the hot caramel over the arranged crackers, using a spatula to coat them evenly.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, watching closely so the caramel doesn’t burn.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the hot caramel.
  7. Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are fresh for the best flavor. You can substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. Store in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within a week for optimal texture.
