Now for a sandwich. You need a plate. Then 2 slices of bread. Then you have to open the refrigerator and get out the cold cuts and cheese. Oh, and either mayonnaise or mustard. I’m getting tired just writing this labor intensive chore.
Let me rest a minute.
Ok, back to making a sandwich. You’ll need a knife to spread the mayo/mustard, add the meat and cheese to the sandwich.
Now that could be it, but….you still have to put everything away. And we didn’t even touch on adding extras like lettuce.
So, yeah, snacks need to be easy.
These Crackers are the perfect balance of sweet and salty and the pecans on top give just the right nuttiness (wow, I thought that was going to be my new made up word but spell check let it go!)
Sweet and Salty Crackers
Sweet and Salty Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve of crackers (your choice, I use Club Crackers)
- 1/2 stick of butter (1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Line a sided baking sheet with foil. Place crackers side touching on baking sheet.
- Melt butter then add brown sugar and cinnamon, stir till well combined.
- Spread or dab butter mixture onto crackers, be generous, the more the better.
- Then sprinkle nuts on crackers. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before trying to remove from pan. Gently peel crackers off aluminum foil and enjoy!

Hi Joan, these crackers look delicious. I’ve done something similar with graham crackers but mine doesn’t have the brown sugar and cinnamon added. I may have to add both next time. Happy New Year!
Carrie says
Delish! These look fantastic! What I’d GIVE for you to live down the street…
Melissa Placzek says
sweet and salty is such a great combination! gotta try these! xo
thingsforboys says
oh yum! I love sweet and salty. I made some cookies recently and acctidentally put salted nuts in them (inistead of unsalted) they were a hit!
Joan@chocolateandmore says
Love the ideas, and will be trying the graham crackers next time.
As for the salty peanuts, whenever I have a recipe that calls for peanuts, I usually use dry roasted, it’s the only type we keep in the house!
BonnieBanters says
I love this idea! I hate waste and this is a terrific way to use stale or leftover crackers! Thanks!
Discovered your site on Facebook and just had to follow since my motto is chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!
Jackie says
Hi. I’ve made these with saltines (the ‘other’ club cracker 😉 n then added chocolate chips at the end and they’re great. Never made them with slightly stale crackers though (good idea not to waste things) I just made them straight out from a Penzeys magazine. Yum!
megseverydayindulgence says
Sounds soo good! I love sweet and salty treats!
Becky says
These are GREAT! I’ve been making a recipe similar to these for years. You can substitute toffee chips if you know someone who doesn’t like nuts.
One note of caution…..do NOT used margarine! Margarine makes for a sticky mess and very chewy (think gummy) crackers. For this recipe, crisp is best.
Try it, you won’t regret it.
Joan Hayes says
I’m with you Becky, I rarely use margarine in my baking, if you’re going to take the time to make up a treat, use butter!
Jo says
What is the exact amount of brown sugar. 1/4 or 1/1/4?? Thanks
Joan Hayes says
Hi Jo, the correct measurement is 1/4 cup thanks for letting me know about my typo! it’s fixed now.
Amy says
Wow I’m definitely going to try this! How many crackers did this recipe make you? I’m not sure if I will have enough crackers. 🙂 thank you!
Joan Hayes says
Amy, we just make one sleeve of crackers at a time, it the only way to maintain portion control, lol.
Julie says
You made me laugh! My family is the same with the food prep efforts. I hide the good cheese in the fridge in the back of the drawer. I know no one will look that far back. They pull it out about 6-8 inches and if it’s not in sight, we must be out! I can’t wait to make these. I love the ones with chocolate chip but have never tried them with cinnamon.
Kris - Sugar Cookies to Peterbilts says
I would be addicted to these!!! Love this idea, I will try this for a party snack sometime. I know that I can not make them for the two of us, or they will end up gone before I know it!
Donna says
Your recipe says to gently peel… this sounds like a great recipe for the non-stick foil perhaps! I can’t wait to try them… been in a sweet/salty type of mood lately. 🙂
sharryl says
I made these tonight and they looked just like the picture and they are really tasty but next time I am going to bake them on parchment paper because I literally had to peel them off the foil…hopefully the parchment will not stick to them. Thank you for the recipe. This is the first time I have commented on a any recipe…but this recipe I will recommend to many!
Joan Hayes says
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Yes, try the parchment paper, These definitely will stick so you want to line the baking tray with something.
kathy chapman gates says
I make these using graham crackers. My grown son begs for them.
I took some to a church function and couldn’t find them when ready to serve. Two of the men had tried them and decided to hide them so they could take them home with them. Lol.
Joan Hayes says
That’s so funny!
Yvonne says
Has anyone tried these with white sugar? I’m out of brown sugar, but dying to try this recipe.
Joan Hayes says
of course you can use just white sugar!
Susan says
I make something similar too. It uses Graham crackers and a full stock each of buttery and margarine. You have to cook the syrup on the stove first. I love almonds on it! I never line my sheets to. I just remove when hot using a thin metal spatula and put them right onto my counter to cool. They stick and are a bit difficult but soooo worth it! Maybe your way would be easier lol
Joan Hayes says
Almonds are a great change up!
