Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 30 seconds, and stir in vanilla if using.
Dip each Ritz cracker into the melted butter, letting excess drip off.
Coat the buttered crackers in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press gently to adhere.
Arrange the coated Ritz crackers on the baking sheet with space between each.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping.
