- Prep the crackers:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the crackers in a single layer.
- Make the caramel-pecan topping:
- In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar.
- Stir over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat, then stir in milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Assemble the Dandy Do’s:
- Spoon a small mound of the caramel-pecan mixture onto each cracker.
- Spread slightly if needed, but keep the topping mostly on top.
- Cool and set:
- Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature so the topping becomes chewy and firm.
- Serve:
- Enjoy as a sweet snack or dessert.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Tips
- For extra sweetness, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Swap pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- Keep the caramel mixture warm while assembling so it spreads easily.
