Ingredients
Base
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers
Caramel Topping
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the caramel mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and milk. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure the mixture does not burn and becomes smooth and thick.
- Add vanilla and peanuts: Reduce the heat to low, stir in the vanilla extract and chopped peanuts, and cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture thickens further.
- Assemble the cookies: Spoon the peanut caramel topping onto each Ritz cracker evenly. Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing or serving, letting the topping set and become firm.
Notes
- Stir the caramel mixture constantly to prevent it from sticking and burning.
- You can substitute peanuts with other nuts or omit them for a nut-free option.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For firmer cookies, refrigerate after assembly to help topping set more quickly.
