Key Ingredients
Please see the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
- Crackers – For this Churro Snack Mix recipe, we are using oyster crackers. I highly recommend the Nabisco brand.
- Topping – Dark brown sugar, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and kosher salt.
How to Make Oyster Cracker Churro Snack Mix
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an extra large baking sheet with aluminum foil and parchment paper.
Arrange the oyster crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix one teaspoon of cinnamon, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Set aside.
In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter and brown sugar over medium heat until boiling.
Boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
Pour the toffee mixture over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly. A rubber spatula is the best tool for this in my opinion.
Bake for 10 minutes until bubbly and golden. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the crackers.
Let them cool completely for at least 30 minutes. Break the oyster cracker snack mix into small pieces and serve.
Tips
- If you don’t have parchment paper, be sure to butter the aluminum foil or butter the baking sheet. This is toffee, and it will stick to the pan.
- Let the butter and sugar mixture boil for exactly 2 minutes, watching it closely.
- Add an additional one teaspoon of cinnamon if you like an extra strong cinnamon flavor.
- You can use salted butter for a saltier bite if you like.
- Light brown sugar works just as well, but I like the extra molasses flavor in dark brown sugar.
- Drizzle some melted chocolate over the top to add a little extra sweetness.
FAQs
Store cooled snack mix in an airtight container or bag for up to 1 week. If it starts to get soft, you can reheat them in a 325 degree F oven and spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer for about 5 minutes.
