Ingredients
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers), broken into halves or quarters
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Coat Crackers: In a large bowl, break the Ritz crackers into halves or quarters, then toss them with the melted unsalted butter until they are evenly coated, giving them a rich buttery base.
- Combine Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered crackers, tossing gently to evenly coat each piece with the sweet and spicy cinnamon flavor.
- Bake: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the bites turn golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning as they crisp quickly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the churro bites cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They will crisp up more as they cool, ensuring the perfect texture before serving.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the baking crackers during the last few minutes to prevent burning as they can crisp quickly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- These bites are great for parties or as a quick sweet snack on the go.
