Preparation: Begin by lining a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arranging Ritz crackers in a single layer. This ensures easy assembly and prevents sticking.
Making the Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Over medium heat, cook the mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently. This step is crucial for achieving the desired caramel consistency – smooth, thick, and golden brown.
Flavor Infusion: Once the caramel sauce is ready, reduce the heat to low and whisk in milk, vanilla extract, and peanuts until smooth and well combined. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.
Assembly: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, carefully top each Ritz cracker with a dollop of the caramel-peanut mixture. Take your time with this step, ensuring each cookie is generously adorned with the delightful caramel goodness.
Cooling and Storage: Allow the Dandy-Do Cookies to cool completely before indulging in their irresistible goodness. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and flavor.
