Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare the Crackers

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the Ritz crackers in a single, even layer.

Step 2 — Cook the Caramel Mixture

In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Heat over medium for about 7–8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.

Step 3 — Add the Flavorings and Peanuts

Lower the heat and stir in the milk, vanilla, and chopped peanuts. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes thicker, then remove from the heat.

Step 4 — Assemble the Bites

Spoon the warm caramel-peanut mixture onto each cracker, gently spreading it to cover the top.

Step 5 — Cool and Store

Let the bites cool completely on the baking sheet so the caramel can firm up. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
