Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
24 saltine crackers, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. (stir constantly to prevent scorching).

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh butter, sugar, and Ritz crackers for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Sugar Mixture: Cook the sugar mixture until it reaches a light golden brown color. Overcooking can cause the sugar to burn and become bitter.
  • Be Careful When Adding the Baking Soda: Add the baking soda slowly to the hot sugar mixture. It will cause the mixture to bubble up vigorously.
  • Work Quickly: Once the baking soda is added, work quickly to pour the mixture over the crackers. The mixture will harden quickly, so you don't have a lot of time to work.
  • Let the Candy Cool Completely: Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help prevent the candy from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cracker candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover Ritz crackers, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of cracker candy that will be enjoyed by all.
