Ingredients:

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup salted peanuts, chopped
• 1-2 sleeves of buttery crackers (like Ritz)

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the crackers in a single layer.
2. In a saucepan, melt together the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 7-8 minutes.
3. Lower the heat and mix in the whole milk, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
4. Using a small scoop or spoon, dollop the caramel mixture onto each cracker.
5. Let the bites cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.

Substitutions:

• Swap peanuts for cashews or almonds for a different flavor twist.
• Use graham crackers instead of buttery crackers for a slightly sweeter bite.
• Substitute coconut milk for whole milk to add a hint of tropical flavor.

Storage:

Store these bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate them to keep fresh for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month and enjoy whenever a craving strikes!
