1-First, get your oven going by preheating it to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper it’s a game-changer for cleanup. Spread 1 package of oyster crackers evenly across the sheet to create a solid base. Next, in a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat until it’s fully liquid and ready to mix.

2-Once the butter is melted, stir in 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until everything dissolves smoothly. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it bubble for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and turns a lighter color that’s your caramel coming to life. Take the pan off the heat right away, then pour it over the crackers and use a greased spatula to fold it in until they’re all coated evenly, followed by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of salt on top.

3-Pop the sheet into the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid any burning it’s that simple! Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into small clusters. For added fun, you might pair this with other quick bites from the blog, like mini muffin pancake bites, if you’re looking for variety in your snack routine.
