Ritz Bits Churros Method
You’ll want to line a baking sheet with foil sprayed with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
Spread your crackers out in a single layer over the foil.
Cook the sauce. This is the only difficult step of the recipe. Have your ingredients measured and ready. As well, you want a timer ready to start. In a medium saucepan combine
Pour this immediately on top of the crackers as evenly as you can. Spread and smooth the mixture over any crackers that didn’t get covered. You’ll need to work quickly, as the mixture will cool and harden quickly.
Next, bake the crackers for 10 minutes until the caramel sauce is bubbly.
While the crackers are cooking, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. When the crackers are ready, take the pan out of the oven. Now, immediately sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture, spreading it as evenly as possible.

Whew! The hard part is over!
After the crackers have cooled, break them into pieces. I like to serve them immediately. However, you can store your Ritz Bits Churros in an airtight container for up to a week.

These are to die for. As the saying goes ‘no one can eat just one’. I had this add a small party and they were gone in minutes. I should have made 2 boxes.
Is there a Ritz bits that is not peanut butter that will work? I have a child that is allergic and these look wonderful!
As far as I know there’s only the peanut butter ones and cheese ones (which wouldn’t be good). However, you could use plain Ritz crackers or oyster crackers like this> https://shopstyle.it/l/bZznZ.
I live in dry Colorado and made these for a treat plate for friends and neighbors. They came out really sticky. Next time I would increase the cooking time for the butter and sugar to four or five minutes. Also, I would increase the cooking temperature to 400 degrees. Very disappointing!
It’s not the recipe. Altitude affects making caramel/toffee which is essentially what’s being made with the coating.
Nice reply. Directions to correct the issue would have been helpful. Everybody liked them anyway. I would love to make them again with corrections.
Hi Carol, I live in Mississippi and don’t cook at high altitude. If I gave you a work-around it would be information from Google search and one I can’t test and confirm. I’m not comfortable doing that.
Made these using plain mini ritz crackers, but put Cinnamon Toast Crunch Spread in the middle of 2 crackers. (it was on sale at Sam’s Club) and followed the remainder of the recipe. Was really good.
oh goodness, that sounds wonderful!
These are awesome, and definitely addictive. A keeper recipe for sure.
I cannot find Ritz bits peanut butter anywhere!! Do you think these would work using peanut butter filled pretzels?
Here’s a link if you’re interested in ordering https://amzn.to/3eHTZoI
I think pretzels would be good, different, but good.
What are you supposed to do with the peanut butter?
There’s no peanut butter other than what’s in the crackers – you use Ritz Bits peanut butter sandwich crackers like this> https://amzn.to/3aK9YB3
These are excellent! However, I think the caramel is too much for 1 box. It was a little too thick and even after I refrigerated them was soft and hard to break up. I will definitely make them again with some adjustments on the quantities and I will post again with updates. Very tasty though!!
Thanks for your feedback, Kathie. I’m interested in your changes so please let me know.
