Caramel-Pecan Cracker Bites are a sweet, crunchy, and nutty treat that’s surprisingly easy to make! Here’s an overview:
Ingredients
- Crackers (like saltines or similar) – 1 sleeve
- Butter – 1 cup (divided)
- Brown sugar – 1 cup
- Pecan halves – 1 cup
- Optional: chocolate chips or drizzle for topping
Basic Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place crackers in a single layer.
- Make caramel: Melt ½ cup butter with the brown sugar in a saucepan until smooth and bubbly.
- Pour caramel evenly over the crackers.
- Add pecans: Place one or two pecan halves on each cracker.
- Bake: 10–12 minutes, until caramel is bubbly and pecans are toasted.
- Optional chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crackers and let them melt, then spread slightly.
- Cool completely so caramel sets, then break into individual bites.
These bites are sweet, salty, buttery, and crunchy, perfect for parties or a quick dessert.
If you like, I can also give a shortcut version for “no-bake” caramel-pecan bites that’s even faster. Do you want me to do that?
