Description
These 3-ingredient salted caramel peanut Ritz crackers are sweet, salty, crunchy, and incredibly addictive. Made with buttery crackers, melted caramels, and chopped peanuts, they’re an effortless treat that delivers big flavor with minimal work.
Ingredients
- 40 Ritz crackers
- 200 grams soft caramel candies
- 120 grams roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Unwrap caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange Ritz crackers in a single layer, flat side up.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted caramel onto each cracker, spreading slightly.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the caramel and press gently to help them stick.
- Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 5 minutes until set.
- Serve once caramel has firmed.
Notes
- Use unsalted peanuts and add a sprinkle of sea salt for a milder twist.
- Try using mini pretzels or different nuts like almonds or cashews for variety.
- Work quickly to prevent caramel from hardening; reheat if necessary.
- Let crackers return to room temp if stored in the fridge before serving.
- Great for party platters, snack trays, or quick homemade gifts.
