# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
120 grams oyster crackers
→ Caramel Coating
02 -
56 grams unsalted butter
03 -
150 grams brown sugar (light or dark)
04 -
5 milliliters vanilla extract
05 -
1 gram ground cinnamon
06 -
1 gram flaky sea salt
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat; add the brown sugar and stir constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and caramel-colored, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.
03 -
Immediately pour the warm caramel over the oyster crackers and gently fold with two spatulas until each cracker is thoroughly coated.
04 -
Spread the caramel-coated crackers evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
05 -
Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the clusters before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Stir the caramel continuously to prevent burning and monitor the oven closely during baking as caramel can burn quickly.
02 -
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain crispness; can also be frozen for extended storage.
