Churro Cracker Candy Recipe

Ingredients:

• 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Prep the crackers:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
   • Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the sheet, fitting them tightly.
2. Make the caramel topping:
   • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
   • Let it boil for 3 minutes while stirring continuously.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Pour over crackers:
   • Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the crackers.
   • Use a spatula to spread the caramel, ensuring all crackers get coated.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until bubbly and caramelized.
5. Cool and dust:
   • Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet (about 1 hour).
   • Once cooled and hardened, break into pieces.
   • Dust with powdered sugar for that churro-style cinnamon-sugar finish.

Optional: You can drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking for an extra decadent treat!
