Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the crackers in a single layer.
Step 2: Make the Caramel Topping
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring often until smooth and slightly thickened.
Reduce heat to low, whisk in milk, vanilla, and chopped peanuts. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
Spoon or scoop the warm caramel mixture over each cracker, making sure each one is coated generously.
Step 4: Cool & Store
Allow cookies to cool completely at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
