1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer.
2. Cook the Caramel-Peanut Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 7-8 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and caramelized.
3. Add Milk and Peanuts: Lower the heat and whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
4. Top the Crackers: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the caramel-peanut mixture onto each Ritz cracker, spreading it evenly.
5. Cool and Store: Let the caramel peanut bites cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container to keep them fresh.
These Caramel Peanut Ritz Cracker Bites are the ultimate sweet and salty snack! Perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
