Ritz caramel and peanut biscuits are one of those treats that feel almost unfairly good for how simple they are. With their buttery crunch, gooey caramel center, and salty peanut topping, these bite-sized sweets hit every craving at once. They’re no-bake (or nearly no-bake), crowd-friendly, and dangerously easy to keep making once you’ve tried them.
This recipe turns everyday pantry staples into a dessert that tastes like it came from a specialty candy shop—proof that you don’t need complicated ingredients to create something unforgettable.
Why This Combination Works
Ritz crackers bring a subtle saltiness and buttery flavor that balances sweetness perfectly. Caramel adds chew and richness, while peanuts introduce crunch and a roasted depth. Together, they create a layered bite that’s crisp, soft, sweet, and salty all at once.
It’s the kind of treat that disappears fastest at parties—and always gets asked about.
