Peanut Butter Churro Bits

Adapted from https://www.callmepmc.com/

2 boxes peanut butter ritz or similar(I used Aldi brand)
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.

Place the crackers in a large bowl.  
In a medium saucepan combine butter and brown sugar. Stirring consistently bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

 
Pour this immediately on top of the crackers and stir well.   Pour onto the prepared sheet pan. 

Bake the crackers for 15 minutes, stirring at 7 minutes.  

While the crackers are cooking combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. When the crackers are done remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle as evenly as you can.

Break into pieces after the crackers have cooled. Enjoy!
