Description

Ritz Bits Churros are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that combines the buttery, peanut-butter-filled Ritz Bits crackers with a sweet, cinnamon-sugar coating. Baked to a crispy perfection, these churro-style bites make a perfect party snack or sweet treat that can be enjoyed any time.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box (8.8 oz) Ritz Bits Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Make Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt until the mixture begins to simmer. Continue cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Coat Crackers: Place the Ritz Bits Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers into a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm cinnamon-sugar butter mixture over the crackers and toss gently to ensure they are evenly coated.
  4. Bake the Crackers: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring once halfway through to promote even cooking.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar for Coating: While the crackers bake, mix ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl to create the coating mixture.
  6. Coat and Cool: After removing the crackers from the oven, immediately toss them with the cinnamon-sugar coating while they are still warm. Allow the coated crackers to cool completely before serving to let the flavors set.

Notes

  • For extra crunchiness, bake the coated crackers for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • These churro-style bites make an excellent party snack or addition to snack mixes.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
