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 baking sheet in a single layer.
In a medium saucepan, melt ½ cup of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
Pour the caramel sauce over the arranged oyster crackers, ensuring each cracker is coated. Sprinkle a light pinch of flaky salt over the top.
Bake for 7-9 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into clusters.
