Description
Ritz Churro Bites are a sweet and crunchy treat made with Ritz Bits cracker sandwiches coated in buttery caramel and cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- 8.8 ounces peanut butter Ritz Bits cracker sandwiches
- ½ cup salted sweet cream butter
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Spread the Ritz Bits crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
- In a 2 to 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, ⅓ cup light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a low boil for 1 to 1½ minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and carefully spoon the butter mixture over the crackers. Toss with tongs or a silicone spatula until well coated.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ¾ teaspoon cinnamon.
- Remove crackers from oven and immediately sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over them.
- Allow to cool completely, then break the churro bites apart. Serve once fully cooled.
Notes
- Make sure to use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
- Cool the churro bites completely before breaking them apart for optimal crunchiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
