Churro Crackers

 I can't leave these in the house, because they are dangerous for me.  They are so good.

CHURRO CRACKERS

Ingredients:

*3 tablespoon granulated sugar

*1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

*1/2 teaspoon salt

*1 (9 ounce bag) oyster crackers

*1 cup butter

*3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

*1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

*1 teaspoon vanilla extract

*3 tablespoon granulated sugar

*1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

*1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

~Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

~Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

~In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together until well mixed.

~Set aside.

~In a medium saucepan,  bring 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar, stirring often.

~Once it comes to allow to full boil for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

~Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon in mixture.

~Pour 1 (9 ounce) bag of oyster crackers into a large bowl.

~Pour hot mixture over crackers and stir until well coated.

~Spread crackers in a single layer on prepared cookie sheet (as much as possible).

~Bake for 15 minutes.

~Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over oyster crackers (I like to put mine in a large bowl, cover it and gently shake it so that the entire cracker gets coated).

~Allow to cool completely and then break apart.
