- Great for leftover candy. While it's a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy, Ritz crackers, and Rolo candies can be found all year long, so whenever the mood for something salty and sweet comes along, you're in luck!
- They're seasonal. These cracker treats are very popular around Christmas time, so if you're looking for a seasonal treat that's easy to make- here ya go.
- Minimal ingredients. We literally only need 2 ingredients to make this recipe. This is about as simple as it gets.
🛒 Ingredients
Rolos- These little caramel candies are the center star of the show. Make sure to unwrap them first! Save some rolls for Rolo Turtle Fudge.

If you have ritz left, try them in dinner favorites like Meatloaf with Ritz Crackers and Mac and Cheese Tuna Casserole.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use store-brand crackers if available. Generic buttery round crackers work just as well and can lower the overall cost.
Watch for candy sales. Rolos are often discounted after holidays and during seasonal promotions.
Make a double batch at once. Since these bake quickly, doubling the recipe saves time and energy.

👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Oven Variation Alert- Due to potential variations in ovens, melting times for the Rolos may differ. While my oven typically warms them in 3 minutes, yours may require more or less time.
- Monitoring Tip- After 3 minutes, check the Rolos. They should appear soft but not completely melted. The goal is to achieve a squishable texture rather than complete melting. Adjust the heating time accordingly based on your oven's performance.

Make Ahead: These can be made a day or two in advance and stored until ready to serve.

❓ Recipe FAQs
Yes, this Ritz cracker and Rolo recipe can made in advance. They are great for up to a few days if kept stored in an airtight container.
Keep these candied crackers stored at room temperature, in the fridge, or even in the freezer depending on your own preferences! By keeping them cold, the caramel becomes harder and chewier, but leaving them at room temperature is great too!
Greasing the baking sheet is typically not necessary as the Ritz crackers don't stick to the pan when baked with the Rolos.
