Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups oyster crackers
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
- 3/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the oyster crackers in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture becomes bubbly and lighter in color.
- Turn off the heat and immediately pour the caramel sauce over the crackers. Use a rubber spatula to gently mix until all the crackers are thoroughly coated.
- Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the top.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.
