Step 3: Finish Filling: Lower the heat. Whisk in the 3 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 cup chopped peanuts. Cook for 2 more minutes until the filling is thickened, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble Treats: Spoon the hot caramel-peanut mixture onto each cracker using a cookie scoop or small spoon, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
Step 5: Cool and Store: Let the treats cool completely on the cookie sheet until the caramel is set. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
