🥜 Pecan Praline Ritz Bites Recipe





There’s something truly special about Southern sweets — that perfect blend of sweetness, crunch, and buttery flavor that makes every bite taste like home. These Pecan Praline Ritz Bites are one of those little treasures you can whip up in no time but look (and taste) like they came straight from Grandma’s kitchen.

The secret? Buttery Ritz crackers topped with a rich, creamy praline mixture made from butter, brown sugar, pecans, and a touch of vanilla. Each bite delivers that classic sweet-and-salty magic Southerners are known for — a perfect balance of crunchy, chewy, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

Whether you serve them for the holidays, at a party, or just as a cozy treat on a Sunday afternoon, these little bites disappear fast. So make a double batch — you’ll thank yourself later!

🧺 Ingredients

  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Arrange Ritz crackers in a single layer — these will be your delicious, buttery base.

2. Make the Praline Mixture

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Add brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and begins to bubble (around 3–4 minutes).

  3. Remove from heat, then stir in chopped pecans, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Mix well — the aroma alone will make your kitchen smell heavenly!

3. Assemble

Quickly spoon a generous amount of the warm praline mixture onto each cracker. The mixture will start to set, so work fast.

4. Cool and Enjoy

Allow the bites to cool at room temperature until the topping firms up, or place them in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to set more quickly.

Serve and watch them disappear — they’re irresistible!

🍯 Tips & Variations

  • Chocolate drizzle: Add a drizzle of melted chocolate once cooled for an extra-decadent finish.

  • Extra crunch: Sprinkle with a few whole pecans or sea salt flakes before the praline sets.

  • Make ahead: These store beautifully in an airtight container for up to 3 days — or refrigerate for a week.
