Wow, I whipped up these treats for my son’s birthday bash, and they vanished almost instantly! Clearly, I underestimated how popular they would be. They were absolutely delicious!
Caramel Peanut Ritz Cracker Treats
Ingredients:
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup roughly chopped peanuts
1-2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
Preparation:
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay out Ritz crackers in a single layer.
In a saucepan, heat sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Lower the heat, then whisk in milk, vanilla, and peanuts. Cook for 2 more minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
Spoon the caramel-peanut mixture onto each cracker using a cookie scoop.
Let the cookies cool completely, then store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
These treats were a hit at my son’s birthday party and disappeared quickly, so you might want to
