Description

These Caramel Peanut Ritz Crackers are a delightful combination of crispy, salty crackers topped with a rich, creamy caramel and crunchy peanuts. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast of textures, with the smooth caramel melting in your mouth and the peanuts providing a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Ritz Crackers – 1 box (about 30 crackers)
Caramel Sauce – 1 cup (store-bought or homemade)
Peanuts – 1 cup (chopped, unsalted)
Chocolate Chips – 1/2 cup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Arrange half of the Ritz Crackers on the baking sheet, flat side up.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the caramel sauce until it is pourable, about 3-5 minutes.
Using a spoon, drizzle a generous amount of caramel over each cracker.
Sprinkle chopped peanuts evenly over the caramel-topped crackers.
Top with the remaining Ritz Crackers, flat side down, to create sandwiches.
If using, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled crackers and let them cool for about 30 minutes until set.

Notes

Make-ahead: These can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days.
Substitutions: Use almond or cashew butter instead of caramel for a nutty twist.
