Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the oyster crackers evenly across the lined baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously until it bubbles and caramelizes, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the caramel over the crackers and toss gently with a spatula to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Allow the bites to cool completely before breaking them into clusters.

Notes

Watch the caramel closely to prevent burning and ensure room temperature crackers for even coating. Allow bites to cool completely before breaking apart.
