Your kitchen is going to smell like you lit a maple bacon-scented candle after you bake up these salty-sweet-savory-crunchy Bacon Crackers.

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Appetizer, bacon
Servings: 40 crackers

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Foil
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 40 club crackers
  • 7 slices maple flavored bacon
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • a few pinches of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • Line the baking sheet with foil
  • Place wire rack over the baking sheet
  • Put 20 crackers evenly spaced on the baking sheet
  • Cut the bacon slices into smaller pieces that fit over each cracker. The bacon shrinks while it cooks so it's best to have the bacon pieces be a little larger than the crackers.
  • Add just under a teaspoon of brown sugar over each bacon-covered cracker
  • Sprinkle just a few pinches of cayenne pepper over the entire pan of crackers (optional). Cayenne pepper is strong, so just a little bit works for flavor!
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is melted.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before serving. If the crackers get stuck a little to the rack while they cool, press them up from underneath the rack to loosen them.

Notes

Storage:
Refrigerate leftovers in a zip-top bag up to 2 days.
